The 1.8 Civic is actually slightly heavier than the 180...
According to Parkers "facts and figures" the Civic 1.8 VTI-S weighs 1299kg and the 180 weights 1285kg. Therefore the MB6 springs from Eibach should be perfectly weighted for the 180.
In terms of height, yes they will drop the Civic 30mm and the ZS naturally sits a bit lower. That 30mm drop is on Civic dampers though, the ZS dampers are shorter so when you combine ZS dampers with the Civic Eibach springs it drops a Civic 55mm or a ZS about 30mm from standard.
See the picture in the link I previously posted for the ride height.
I've spent ages looking into this, really think it could work. Like I say I'll be doing this on the TD if the GAZ coilovers ever pack up.
