OK i have a 02 civic coupe lx and i installed tein s tech's about 4 months ago and my rear factory struts are blown so i have some tokico blues im geting ready to install... so my queston is will it raise my car up any with puting new struts on cause as everyone knows teins are only a 1.3 drop anyways which i think is too high but its a daily driver...but i dont want it any highr than it is now...So will it stay the same or should i look into different springs???

^ thats common. All the civic's and rsx's have the same rear end bouncy problem.

theoretically the struts shouldnt rais or lower your car at all. If the perch is higher or lower then your stock one, then it'll change the height I would assume. Can you find any side by side pics maybe?

HPs make the car sit the slightest bit higher, i had goldlines on my stock struts and then i put on HPs and it went up a little, i was tucking all 4 tires, then when i put on the hps it went to the fender was right above the tire just enough so i wasnt tucking no more.
