Default Suspension Interchangeable?

Hi. I posted a want ad for 4 stock springs/strut assembly for my 94 Civic EX 4 door sedan with manual tranny and 03RSX-S was kind enough to respond to sell me his. They are from a 96 Acura Integra. My question is will they bolt on perfectly into my car. I really need to know before I finally buy them.

I truly would like to put eibach/koni yellow set instead but I just couldn't justify spending about $700+ for my milk getter with 167+K miles on her.

Thank you guys for your help.

Correct me if I'm wrong, if the spring rate is higher, the ride height will still be the same as stock, only the bounce will be a little stiffer, right?

I just bought the car a month ago due to high cost of gasoline. I really would love to install high perf aftermarket goodies but unfortunately, the car's body has dings all around, front and rear bumper included. The previous owners really did not take good care of it. Plus living in a cold place, snow and salt can easily cause damage to the body with rust especially to the rear fender well and weeping holes under the doors. In other words, my civic is not very pretty, right now. I'm working on it though...

My other baby is an 03 Nissan Frontier Supercharged Crew Cab Black Short Bed. I bought her new, but this thing only gets up to 15 miles to a gallon of gas.

But nevertheless, I'm a happy camper.

no spring rates dont effect ride height, spring rates effect stiffness of the spring.
