Gen 1 is 1983-1986
Gen 2 is 1987-1991
Gen 3 is 1992-1996
Gen 4 is 1997-2001
Gen 5 is 2002-Current

As far as springs go, I'm planning on getting the Eibach Pro Kit 'cause thats what TRD uses, and I heard that the Tein S. Tech springs are more stiff than the Eibach. Also, the Tein springs give you more of a drop than the Eibach. The Eibach drop is only 1.4" in the front and 1.1" in the back. Good luck.

Glaring blue HID bulbs are NOT classy, and don't make your car look nice, no matter what that kid in the Civic told you.

I think he meant the brand "Spring" but I'm not sure... from what I've been told, the Eibach springs will never sag, so don't worry.

I have sprint:

Rear Squats


And a nice two finger space in the front


AND I no longer have a sound system, so that's not it. That's how sprints are.
