I'm not a huge fan of sectioning the stock spindles since it throws off the suspension geometry, not to mentioned there are very few people I would trust to weld up a cast spindle. The best way would by to NOT section the spindle, but rather move up the hub mounting point like Max from BioKustumz does on the Titan spindles. All in all, I would suggest finding an alternative to cans (whether it be hydraulics or a real airbag) since you're really limited with the amount of drop you'll get from a can due to their overall diameter. Usually the spindle or the control arm will bottom out on the can when you get to a certain point. Hydraulics will bolt in, or you could do a bag off the upper control arm with a little fabrication. Best of luck... good news is lots of people have layed out civics so there is really no secret.

If you move the hub up but don't cut the top of the spindle, the a-arm will go through the hood.
