OEM Spring Anger(want stk.hieght springs)

I have a 90 RT4WD and for the life of me I cannot find OEM or 'stock' replacement springs. :evil: Everything is either lowering springs or 'excluding wagon'! I drive on crappy roads and I really want to avoid having a much stiffer ride...progressive rates would be ok.

I don't want to cut springs, I don't want to lower, i just want stock type springs! Am I screwed here?

    How do they compare to EE rear springs? (Also, are the DA, EF, & EE front springs the same?)

    Why use EF Shocks with the DA Springs if the EF ones are not the right length? You can get EE shocks, why not match DA rear springs with the EE shocks then? Rough roads, stiff suspension=bad.

    Again, still not a OEM type option either way you slice it. To make matters worse, i already have 2 new EE rear shocks.

    My Aero searches are coming up empty...I get and Aero springs in AZ, or suzuki Aero springs, or a bunch of Saab junk.

    So for the record: If you want new OEM style springs, you must import from said Aero Springs co in Japan?

    Man, I would even opt for a rally cross or dirt road specific aftermarket spring IF i could find wagon specific. I know the number of wagons compared to other style civics pales in comparison, but WTF?

    :cry: As far as the AREO(JPN).The springs were discontinued.I did stumble onto the AREO site by accident,but they only made parts for other cars.I had the same trouble finding it as you.Can't remember,but I think they make Scobby parts.

    I wasn't sure if clsmooth was using EE or EF rear shx.Read clsmooth's 2nd paragraph again.Sounds like the DA springs maybe right for you.IMO I don't think it would be noticeable stiffer.

    EE &EF are so close you'll probably not feel it.Da frt,springs are firmer as stated by clsmooth.

    Read the section, Lifting the Wagon:.Ask the different members listed is to how their ride feels since you mentioned Rally Springs.
