Default Drop forks????

I did a search...
I was wondering id there is a common swap for a 6g civic to have shorter forks. I have my car dropped a pathetic 1.5'', and that just isn't quite enough. I like the amount of suspension travel that i currently have so i don't want to change the springs. Is there another car out there with similar forks, just a bit shorter? Maybe another .5-1" is all i need.

Suspension Techniques used to make a drop fork and control arm. They have since removed these from the market. Unfortunately unless you can find a used set your only options are to go with a lower spring or coilover.

if you cant find any, take your stock ones to a good machine shop, and tell them your desired specs. a reputable machine shop can make anything. a good friend of mine used to have a prelude w/ air-ride, and he got everything custom machined. it wasnt very expensive

Thanks. I wa hoping you'd say "oh just pull 'em off a '9x 'teg", but i guess it can't always be that easy.

different springs
no ****, really? j/k, i would but i really like the ride quality now as compared to when i had shorter springs. Skunk2 "coilovers" suck big ****.
