Default Scraping Arghhhh!!

Well I just finished installing my b16 into the crx and the motor hangs a little to low for my taste because on the big bumps if I dont go 5 mph my motor will bottom out. The springs I have are the eibach sportline springs I love the ride height in the rear but the front is just to low. To to prevent the scraping I was going to convert my front springs to H&R OE springs which is only .75 inches instead of 1.7.And I have Koni five way adjustable shocks if that helps. So my question really is do you think me changing the springs wouldt help me out alot from scraping my motor. Thx

If you have Konis try raising the front perch one or two grooves up.

take the shocks out

take off all the springs and hardware

take them to a machine shop and tell them you want them to cut you somemore grooves higher up...should cost you maybe $20 a shock.

k I just wanna know if those springs will work because there is to much bumping and I dont like it. My father is a master mechanic thats the only reason I bought this car was to be able to get stuff done for free labor. Just let me know if the H&R OE springs will work just fine thx
