Is there any chance that a more stock ride height can be achieved or something close to it ?

I have 9kf/12kr,and it shows!
so can we use any 4th gen rear shocks or do they have to be part of a coil over kit? or do just just have to have adjustable spring perches? cause then we could use koni yellows for 4th gens

I really need to get a better daily driver :violin: .
Maybe I did it wrong I wanted to just duplicate the threads but just moved a few posts around to make a how-to thread in the how-to forum and leave the rest of the posts here.

As for stiffness, yeah, you def went overkill, though I'm not entirely sure what the wheel rate is for the Honda (since 18k isn't a true 18k, more like 14k, which is still way too stiff, esp. for d2 dampers).

You know you can buy full coilover kits from Hot Bits? And they start from $800 upwards depending on what options you want.
