As I'm gutting my Civic it's raising higher and higher and I couldn't help but think, maybe I should rally this car a few times since there's rally racing constantly around here (Central Florida). I wouldn't want to do that with stock suspension though, I would prefer something a bit taller and stiffer. Is there any form of bolt on spring/shock combo that would do that? I know integra suspension is essentially the exact same, so that wouldn't do it. Can I squeeze Accord springs or anything like that in there? So far the only option I've found are aluminum spacers on eBay, $100 to lift it an inch or two.
Some from some google-fu, it looks like I can use 99-2001 CRV front springs and shocks *possibly* to lift the front 2 inches. The rears will fit if I modify the lower control arm.
How about those cheapo $38 coilover springs on eBay? If the spring is a somewhat universal size I could simply order a longer spring, to have taller springs that could possibly go with CRV shocks? Hmmmm.... If I can keep this in the challenge budget and have two options for suspension, rallycross and autocross, that would be pretty awesome.
In reply to infinitenexus :
I used a set of Ebay Chinesium coilovers on my Challenge Miata. The springs aren't very long if you're trying to get altitude and suspension travel and the coilover sleeve is sized for a 50mm diameter shock.

Any Integra spring set should work as they are heavier rate. If you can find a set the Civic Wagon 4WD spring will raise it certainly.
