I haven't really looked at it yet (overworked at the moment; haven't even had a chance to pick up a manual for it), but the aftermarket spring suppliers are listing this car as "rear adjustable spring only." Thanks in advance, I'm looking forward to hearing from the crowd.
you could start by removing the washers and flushing the nut & bolt will give it a nice look as for rear well either buy the setup or heat up the springs and compress them to be shorter for a budget other then that you can cut the springs to see how low you want it start by cutting half coil only but highly advise to get another set from the junkyard so you can have a set to play with and a set to do the final touch just my opinion but I never heard of being able to insert the bars in from the opposite side I'll be trying this after winter as it snows in Idaho

Default 3rd generation civic 1.5l sedan

hello y'all I just got a 1987 civic 1.5l sedan. It's cranking but it won't start. I can't find the fuel pump relay, I was wondering if anyone could help me? there aren't many videos or forums on 3rd generation civics that I know of. Also, what else are some notable diagnostics for this issue?

I've had an 85 Civic SW 4WD 5door for 32 years, just turning 300,000 I HOPE. Passenger side shock (damper) went bad and now I am told the replacement is not available. Have been told to get another 3rd gen civic shock, which is about 2 1/2 inches shorter, and just run it lower. Anyone have this experience? The original is 51605-SD9-004, had been replaced by -014, -024, -034's but all nowhere to be found! It's my daily driver, hoping for the most straightforward solution. Thanks in advance
