The rear has springs. Intrax makes some inexpensive springs the front is adjustable to a point.
Very much drop and the front will bottom out...

the front has torsion bars. they are adjustable but if you just adjust the front for lower it the ride is crap. you have to buy aftermarket torsion bars for the front.

and the rears are just a spring and shock set up so it's just like any other integra/civc

Depends on how much drop he is looking for. A slight drop doesn't make it too bad I had that for a few years. Ground control makes rear adjustable springs but they are kinda interesting to install..

interesting to install, ughhh don't like the sound of that LOL, but I'll try to drop the front and see how it is, it won't be on the road for a while anyway so what the hell.

under the car. behind the front wheels there will be two bars coming back with bolts hanging down. the nuts that are on these will raise and lower the car. I don't have a picture of it and my car is back on the ground for a while. But you should be able to find them the bars will have arms that go out under the nuts.

Hopefully that is clear enough. Been awhile since I have done this.
