Im wondering about how my car will sit with a B motor swap? I have a 91 CX bone stock so far. I might be pulling a B18A out of a 92 teg with teh brake's ect. Can I use the Teg springs with my civic? Is my car going to be nose heavy or will the 50lbs extra on the Front not make a Difference? I know progress make's a set for EF's with B swaps. Is this a Necesity or can I do the swap and Install the Springs later? Im going to change the Springs soon anyways. Im jsut wondering if My car is still Driveable in case I can't get the Springs for a week or two after the swap. Thnx

well after i put a b16 in my eg coupe it levelled the front out. I have the Tociko Advance Handling Kit (springs and illumina's). Before the swap it was a little lower in the back than in the front and after the swap it evened it out. I think the kit said 1.7" drop in the rear and 1.5" in the front.
Its not a big deal, you don't need swap springs, you car is completely drivable whether you upgrade the suspension or not. But if the funds are there, i say just grab some springs (h&r, eibach, tein) and good shocks (tociko, koni). Or grab a full coilover set (omnipower, tein).

in that generation, the steering knuckles were diff't between the Integra and the Civic, so I doubt the springs would be the correct length to use. I mean, the fit, but the steering knuckle makes the upper control arm sit pointing up, which makes for some STRANGE handling characteristics. Using EX sedan steering knuckles will fix that problem for you.

Don't even worry about the springs. If it was an h22 yeah you would put some heavier springs on but don't even worry about it with that motor.

You could always relocate your battery to the trunk. Cheaper than springs and it will clean up he look of your engine bay a little too.

i have sir/teg spec knuckles and its fine... supposed to give positive camber but i really think it adds negative camber so you grip in corners better @ stock ride height
