Default engine sits to low..HELP

well as you can see in my avatar that is my hatch and i have a b18a and it just sits way to low..i have eibach sportline springs and they are uncut..not sure how much of a drop it is and also i have hasport mounts, and my problem is that my oil pan and header just hangs so low that it scraps by just going over little bumps that i know many eg's with swaps can go over with without scraping..is there anyway i can fix this and get it to sit higher or should i just get some coilovers and raise my car up? please help me out! i just replaced my oil pan and i dont want to replace it again just because it hangs so low and it scraps..LMK

Washers on the engine mounts might give it a tiny bit more space.

The hasport motor mounts sit your engine pretty low. It also looks like you have you car pretty low, like 2.5 to 3 inches. I would say to raise your car an inch or inch and a half.

sport lines are made to drop the car, thats their intention..

PLus the spring rate is made for the weight of the d16a6 not a b18.

get some stiffies up front, add a coil over maybe...

and don't bust your pretty oil pan..

I say, you should get some newer year integra lowering springs. the springs will support the weight of that motor better, or, you can get some different mounts, place racing mounts sit higher
