Icon2 Lowering my ride

Hi guys , My Ride is 1984 Honda Ballade Sports (Sedan). I wanted to Lower the height of my ride . back side has springs which i can change to get the drop but what do i do with the front shocks as they don't have spring , they are gas pressure shocks i guess..
Please Help

Not enough info. Budget? Usage of car? Amount of drop?

You have springs up font. Torsion bars are springs, they're just not coil springs.

You might get better help in the Classic Hondas forum.

Mugen08, I could be mistaken, but I think you'll find the most similarity of that car with the CRX. We didn't get anything named "Ballade" in the US. Since the CRX was based off of the Ballade (if what I looked up is correct), they should share suspension components, or at least general design (should, meaning an assumption is being made).
