Suspension

Long story short, I dropped my car back in 2013 and looking to lift my car back up. My car has 19" rims and looking for advice. I've seen some websites that say struts w/o sport package but nothing about the rear springs. Can i get regular struts assembly? or do i need to get sport package assembly for 19" rims for front and back?

The non sport springs will work just fine. Kind of depends on your expectations and goals. If your only goal is to raise the car back to stock ride height, then order replacement springs for a non-sport (18" wheel) car. If you don't mind a bit firmer ride for slightly improved handling, go with the sport springs. Maybe consider changing to Sport model stabilizer bars/struts/shocks to match...again, depends on your goals and wallet. Also look into the Value Advantage line of replacement struts at your local stealership, if your struts/shocks are shot.

18" FRONT SPRINGS - 54010-ZX70A
18" REAR SPRINGS - 55020-9N10B

19" FRONT SPRINGS - 54010-ZY80A
19" REAR SPRINGS - 55020-9N60B

The springs support the weight load of the car and determine ride height. The struts and shocks do not, they merely dampen the movement of the springs and are not load bearing. Together, along with the stabilizer bars, they work as a system that determine the characteristics, handling, and general behavior of the ride

Here it is just about a year later. I'm looking through posts because I have the same issue. What did you end up doing Texakinz?

A couple of yrs ago, I bought a low mileage 2014 SV. The suspension was way too wussy for me. @45k miles, the rear shocks were shot &, all along, the front springs were way too soft.
I put kyb Sport shocks on the back & picked up a pair of low mileage used Sport Pkg strut & spring assemblies for the front.
Hawala! A completely different & balanced vehicle!
That's what I did & what I'd suggest.
