Default civic springs on a integra

i was wondering if civic springs really do fit on integras, because i remember awhile ago i sold some ground controls off a 99 civic si to my friend with a 01 integra gsr and i dont remember any problems after the install. just wondering now because i thought about buying some guys civic springs for my integra

They do fit, but the spring rates are different due to different weights.

Yep, the EK springs will fit, but the spring rates will be lower (i.e. softer) than the stock DC2 springs.

Unless you're interested in building a VTEC barcalounger, it's a step backwards.

No. You will be bouncing all over the place and it could create a crappier handling condition than stock.

i doubt you will be bouncing all over the place.... the springs are softer... easier to handle for the shocks... and i dont think the spring rates differ that much... as some aftermarket companies sell the same spring rates for both cars( civic and integra ) and they dont differ that much in harshness/smoothness
