Ok so this is the deal i live in a farming community, so the county doesnt give a hoot about what kind of condition the roads are in. And since my car is lowered all the pot holes and other **** are slowly making my ex start to deteriate. And its getting expensive very fast. So I have came to the conclusion that I need to raise it back to stock height. Yeah I know the wheel gap sucks. So my question to you is Im going to just buy stock springs off ebay and probably go buy new struts but i need to know if i use spring off an 99/00 si will it be any different then a 98 ex? i guess im wondering if i can use srings off any ek coupe or do they have to be "model specific"?

the car is a 98 civic ex coupe

 

i used springs off of a 00 Si on my 94 EX so i wouldn't think it would matter...i think the suspension is the same from 92-00.

 

dam that sucks..what was your setup and how much were you lowered?

 

i dont know its some cheap ebay **** that the car dealer put on it. its dropped like 2 inches? i think there just some wacko adjustables

 

I have read (here and elsewhere) that the Si springs are a little lower than the others. Don't know how much though.

 

if their adjustable why dont you adjsut them to stock height?

 

there crappy ebay ones that dont lock all the way when i adjust them up so they slowly work there way down.

 

you could always adjust the shocks/ or coilovers to find a medium.

 

I could but between the rough ride, the whole car slowly deteriataing and the toll that its taking on my tires ( yes i know i should just do the camber kit) but It seems like it would be much simpler to just go to stock springs and i will just tighten on the suspension as far as conering goes with tower bars and sway bars and such. The country can really take its toll on a sport compact.

 

i hear ya. im dodging pot holes every time it rains on my dirt road.
