My H22 build

Those shocks should handle nearly any spring you can throw at them

Tokico sells a set of springs for that shock, good street springs, but too soft for anything else

The H&R sport spring is a good match to these shocks, you will take a little time to "dail them in" (find the right settings) but I'd wager you will be happy with the results

some well know companies also sell springs from those swaps ....

at present I have the same setup as Jason ..

BUT sometime can be real pressure

Bad road , high speed , stiff suspension NOPE

The H&R sport spring number is 51865-2

The "-2" is important, there is a 51865 that is for the non-Si Civic

Spring rates:
H&R Sport - 330F/280R (P/P)
Tokico Illumina Kit - 250/123 (P/P)
H&R OE - 280F/190R (P/P)
Eibach ProKit - 290F/190R (P/P)
Tein SS - 448F/224R
Tein Flex - 504F/280R
Tein S. Tech - 235F/140R

OEM spring for comparison

96-00 EX - 165F/80R (P/P)
99-00 Si (EM1) - 201F/99.8R (P/P)
97, 00-01 ITR - 250F/250R (L/P)
GS-R - 200F/95R (P/P)
CTR - 240/240 (L/P)

The Numbers indicate how many pounds it takes to compress the springs 1 inch, The sports should be stiff enough to support you engine without shaking your fillings loose everytime you drive you car

I think this is what the blue H22 equipped hatch was running, but people who know this car better can confirm

^^ Hey buddy....if you wanna experiment with my old Tanabe Sustec Pro coilovers let me know ok. They fit but I think you need EK arms at the rear though. Your car is lighter than mine and the fact that they're from the CD6 just might work for you....same set up on the H22 hatch.

If your car is EG9 I think that ITR springs work on it

(correct me if I'm wrong somebody)

That is good because those springs would be designed for the heavier B18 engines
