Hey, You asked for Springs that would not lower your car too much for the winter and you wanted the "Rake" from rear to front to remain. This is the solution. Don't be cheap, save your money and get the proper parts. If you don't you will always be upset that you settled.

It's a hell of a lot cheaper than what I was going to suggest...

It's not "Colilover Suspension" I'm suggesting, It's "Adjustable Collars" for springs. They are like $80.00 for Hondas...

Check the first picture I sent...
