Type R Spring Questions

They are different length, they are also designed differently (one's flat on top, one's not). I'm not sure if the spring hat from the rear will fit a front spring, nor am I sure if the front spring hat would fit in the rear chassis where it mounts.
It would be an interesting thing to check tho. I have ITR springs on my GS-R and am too lazy to take em off to see tho hehe

Straight ratio springs for a del Sol are really, pretty cheap. :P

True but I am just trying to be real cheap!
hehe I might those Type R springs for 75 bucks. You guys say the top of the springs are differnt from front to rear, does that mean I would need Type-R top hats or could I use my stock ones on the car.

If your stock spring rates are similar to a standard EG's, it will not lower your car. In fact, you'll go up about .25" or so, by my estimate.
With GSR springs on my Civic I'm ~2" higher than stock.
The spring lengths are exactly the same, but that doesn't mean you'll ride at the proper height.

That said, the 5th Gen hats work and I believe the Del Sols will too.
