I have a 2002 civic EX coupe which was lowered using Progress springs. It's about a 2" drop in the front and a 1.5" drop in the rear or somethin' like that. I bought the car used back in April. The thing is, I have the stock springs and rims and I want to put them back on for the winter time to raise the car up a bit so I don't become a snow plow here in colorado springs!
I've already searched and browsed through the forums 'n whatnot but can't find information on raising back up. The plan is to just take the shocks off and replace the progress springs with the stock springs and throw the shocks back in the car and put everything back together. Is there somethin' else that needs to be done in reverse from the way that perhaps something special with Progress springs installation required?

NOTE: 7thGencivic.com koo...glad to be a new member. Plan to stick around for a long time. You have no idea how much stuff I've had to figure out on my own in the way of wiring, headlamp, tail lamp swap, electrical stuff, console removal, indiglo gauge installation. You guys and girls are life savers. I'll get some pics of my ride up soon. 17" Koenig rims, white car coupe ex with the spoiler, side skirts, altezza tail lamps (I like 'em..so you can bite me if you don't, foo), Xenon headlamps...oh yeah...almost forgot. Tan leather interior, Pioneer MP3 sound system, white leather boot, 8 ball shift **** (yeah the 8 ball **** is dorky...but I shoot alot of pool so there )

I don't see why that would be a problem. Your stock shocks may be a little worn from being lowered, so it might sit lower than stock even with the stock springs.

yea, just raise that biatch up, and if ur 17's have M+S tires, i don't suggest u take them off for better traction, unless ur worried about road salt...

Yeah...snow can get a bit heavy here in CO Springs once in awhile. Wasn't too much of a problem with my stock suspension on my 98 Civic, but still wouldn't want to chance it with this '02 car being as low as it is right now. Gonna put stock springs on tomorrow at my buddie's shop, align everything next door, then run to the junkyard and pick up some smaller rims for 10 bux a piece. Hopefully I can find some decent ones..otherwise gonna have to throw nasty stock rims on it :P Then gonna run to this tire junkyard place and pick up some rubber for about 20 bux a tire. I'm a thrifty shopper. Once next Summer comes around, hopefully I'll be throwing on some Koni shocks, maybe throw my Progress springs back on. I would like to have some sort of easily adjustable ride height...maybe get some air! yeah!!....ok maybe not. My car is street ricer enough the way it is.

Well I got my stock springs back in da car. Oh and I posted pics of it before it was lowered in the "2002 civics" gallery. You can imagine what it looks like back up riding high. I'm seriously thinking about going 4 wheeling in the sand dunes with all my friends with big 4x4 trucks now. Anyway...umm..yeah. Buddy of mine let me use his shop to do the work. He only helped me a little bit but charged me 50 bux for the space for 1 1/2 hours. That's ok. Another 50 bux to get alignment done. 100 bux to raise back up ain't too bad. :\ I wish I could find some stock rims for cheap. Been checking the junk yards. Looks like 15" rims with a 4x100 pattern are gonna run me about 100 bux for the set. Does this figure seem right to yu'z guys?
