Yes. After you buy $600 worth of mounts, an $80 conversion subharness, $400 custom axles, $220 shift linkage, and an engine, trans, and PR4 computer.

Bolts right in with a few wiring tricks and a big hammer.

Have fun.

OK enough about the what engine,how about lowering springs since my car is an older car 1988. No one makes drop springs for my year so do you think that the 1990 springs will work

No, '90 springs will not work. That's why they are labeled 90-93.

Ground Control makes adjustable coilovers (rear only) for that car.

The front is in the torsion bars. You can lower those at will, no aftermarket parts needed. Move them one notch for a decent lowering, two for a "slammed" and useless drop. That's why no companys make front springs for them.

The way they list it is not the only way, you can lower the front by taking apart and reassembling the torsion bars in a different manner.

That aside, you need lowering springs or coilovers to adjust the back. If you've ever wondered why GC or any other company offers only rear springs for 86-89 Integras/84-87 Civics it is because they have no front springs, only rears. The only way to adjust rear drop is by the springs.
