Can't wait until RedShiftChris gets some non-coil-over setups for our 9th gen. Yes, I said it...coil overs can be a pain.

If you are willing to run 8th Civic spring on the 9th Civic, then there already is an option (although the rear of the 2012 car will sit a hair higher than the front). If you don't want to do that, then we don't have an option yet it appears... but we are not far away.

throwing this out there, anybody ever thought of running 8th front LCA and front links on a 9th. they look very similar and could possibly be the solution to us running 8th coilovers on our 9th

Why would you want to run 8th coilovers? There are coilovers made for the 9th gens
