Well, I've got a 93 Civic, and I'm trying to figure out if I can use a different spring to give me a lift.

I have new Tokico HP struts and shocks. I'm curious as to if I can use accord springs?

Going to rally in the desert with it. :p

 

get rid of the hps first off. they dont last long at all

 

Wrong, They don't last long if you drop under 1.5".

I'm sticking with OEM height or a little higher if I can find a better spring.

 

If you run stiffer spring rates than the shocks are valved for it will help blow those shocks faster as well.

 

The easy button for a slight suspension lift, rubber coil spring spacers. (except you'll probably need tapered spacers instead of flat ones as shown for stock shocks)

 

Crv suspension should fit under it

 

Try and find some bigger knuckles and drop the mounting points of the lower a-arms then fit a longer strut. It would take some research but that'd be a likely approach. Or keep your knucles and do custom tubular upper and lower arms with a longer strut/spring combo. Or for all fab, make custom upper and lower arms with a drop spacer for the strut/spring. The rear would be a little more complex but adapting something else may make things easier. Could be fun though.

 

Spacers.

All you're going to be able to do is increase the amount of preload to reduce the sag (from fully extended to static ride height).

And those blues suck. Regardless of ride height, they will do a horrible job of controlling the suspension. You're going to want that even more with more use of shock travel.
