Replace lowering springs back to stock...?

[docjones18`]

I recently purchased a used 2006 Civic Si from a used car dealership on the north side of Houston. This dealership specializes in salvaged/rebuilt titles. Needless to say, I got the car cheap because of its salvaged history. Aftermarket parts include a Fujita SRI and what I'm told by dealership to be DC Sports headers. The car has also been dropped and the chassis makes some funky noises. I'm not a huge fan of lowered cars (I'm over 6'0"), nor the ride they produce, however, the handling is excellent. I recently purchased factory Si springs off eBay for $50, but have come to find out that I may need to purchase additional parts. Can someone please help me out? Also, I gave the car a good detailing the other day and noticed oil residue covering the factory stainless exhaust. I asked around and was told that the car's fuel mixture is running rich and that the engine is burning oil. Is this due to the headers being to big for the engine or the fact that I don't have an exhaust to match the headers output? How can I correct this problem? I have plans on purchasing the DC Sports exhaust system but do not know which one to get, cat-back or axle-back...The only other problem with the car is the plastic washer fluid container has a leak in it. Is this an easy fix?

you can just switch out the springs. no other things needed. the race header(header with no catalytic converter) makes that residue. you car is running fine and is not rich. only way to correct it is put a cat on it.you can use some silicon to fix the hole depending on its size.

as long as the shocks arent blown then u are ok with just the springs... make sure u get an alignment...

can u post pics of the car and where the oil spill is... also try to take pics of the header and we let u know if they are DC or not...
