Please search. You can also use the picture thread or build threads as a guide and PM individual members. If you want height adjust ability there's plenty of options.

you definitely don't want to cut or heat your springs. springs CAN be cut if done RIGHT, but not on our cars. there's only like what, four stacks of coil in the front?

and what coilovers do you have? pretty vague questions

cliffs: dont cut or heat your springs, ever.

Read the FAQ's about suspension installation. https://honda-tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2247386

As suggested; Search. Use the term "suspension" or "springs" or "coilovers" .... something simple and vague.

Two example threads that were just created:

https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-2001-2005-78/question-about-suspension-2482171/

If you have any further questions, post them in one of those two threads.
