I know it's not a civic like you asked but on my sentra I've just got a 15lb trunk solonoid mounted in the door just below the latch with the cable running up to the part that is pushed on when you pull up on the outter door handle so when it pops it just pulls that piece down. I don't have one of those springs in the door to push it open either, just the factory dome light/ alarm trigger and it pops it open a good 3 inches. If you want to see some pics of it I can take a couple tonight and throw them up.
