This is kind of tricky.
Your front suspension doesn't use coil springs, but instead has torsion bars. You can get replacement torsion bars that are thicker which give the effect of a stiffer spring, and I believe there's a factory height adjustment but I'm not sure quite exactly how it works.
I believe there were lowering springs available for the rear at some point but I have no idea if they're still in production. The chassis is essentially the same as the '84-'87 Civic and CRX so some of the parts may be interchangeable.

yeah, I've looked everywhere (websites) and the only ones I've seen that makes it is eibachs check this website out:

I haven't called them yet but I'm wondering why the heck is the other pair has less coil count? I don't want to lower my car if the rear is the only part that I could lower... I hope you know what I mean. If I call them (eibachs) about this product I think I might get a bias opinion, that's why I went to this message board first. Thanks again for anymore suggestions you guys could give me.
