why would you put civic springs on it?

cut springs are nasty

if your going to go cheap, go for lowering springs (tein probably i used those once) but really save for a good set of coilovers either new or slightly used (below like 6k)

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend putting springs made for a different make of car on there at all. Cut springs will just bottom out, since the spring rate isn't any stiffer. Yah, go with tein or maybe eibach PRO KITs, not the daggum eibach sportlines, they looked good but rode like crap, though it could've just been my worn suspension bushings

Go megan racing coilovers. I have Megan racing everything on my 240 and it's never went wrong, They're 32 way adjustable and they can be stock height or as low as you want. They're great to have... Highly suggest them.
