Different springs? Smaller in diameter?

That would probably clear up a little room, but not much/enough to make a difference.

Custom lower arm? But then the axles may be too short?

Custom lower arms that are longer is the only thing I can think of. And yeah, that might cause problems with the axles, or it may fix problems. Could go either way. I just gotta figure out how much longer to get them. And whether to cut and weld the stocks or get brand new ones made all together.

Check out control arms from other Hondas/acuras, tl, rl, crv, pilot even integra, may be different, or easier to customize. I'm thinking u need like half inch longer?

Yeah, around half an inch would probably work. But I'm not sure. May still have to get other things made for it all to work.

And I'm not sure about the other lower control arms from different models. I'm sure the TL and TSX are probably the exact same part and I'm sure the civic/teggy arms are a complete different design that wouldn't even bolt up.

Thanks. They should work, but it only matters if they are longer than our stock arms.

I also came up with an idea of adding a camber plate to the coil to move it back a little more creating more room for the arm. Or I also thought about maybe doing a full front suspension swap to the MacPherson Strut, not sure if it would even be possible.

you already have macpherson style struts.

wouldn't a shorter spring help or is it already hitting the threaded dampener?
