Progressive Rate Spring Full Coil-Overs? Soft Threaded Body Coil-Overs?
I have a 90 Civic Wagovan that currently rides on F2 coil-overs. If this were my track car they'd be fine, but this will be my baby hauling 5 door.

Because it' a wagon NOBODY offers wagon-specific shocks or lowering springs I'm looking for EF full threaded body coil-overs that have soft rates/dampening, and ideally even progressive rates. I need height adjustability from the shock body itself rather than he spring perches, because I want the car to sit even, and honestly low enough to have the fender archs about an inch or half inch above the tire - all while maintaining full shock travel.
If I try to run standard konis and EF lowering springs the *** of the wagon will sit lower than the front - this is why I NEED full threaded body, shock body length/height adjustable coil-overs with soft spring rates.
Anyways any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Have you considered running '92+ dampers and springs in the rear? IIRC they're longer, but I haven't measured any recently to confirm.
In addition, DA Integra rear springs are much longer than those on the EF due to the perch being welded lower on the shock body, so you may want to look into those as well.
There really isn't anything I can think of that will maintain a usable amount of compression travel at that height while having a baby-compliant ride. Do you really need to have it lowered?
