Default v-6 lowering springs fit i-4

I just ordered some Tein S-techs but i think i messed up and got them for a v6 4dr instead of a 4 cylinder 4dr. Is this going to matter. The only difference i saw in the description is the spring rates differ a little and thats about it. This is for a 2003 4dr accord let me know thanks

I would think that even if they fit, the front of the car may end up higher than the rear. This would be due to the V6 engine being heavier than the 4 cylinder, so the spring rates for the V6 were compensated for that. I would try to contact the place you order from and try to have them change the order; or if they were already shipped, to exchange them on return. Explain the mistake and ask them if they could exchange the parts out of goodwill.

You need to return them or ebay it.

Using the old HT story of a guy installing G6 Civic Si OEM springs on his HB. Want that OEM Honda feel. The end result is a Civic HB with the 4X4 look. As mentioned, the weight and spring rate are different, so you can't expect it to be the same.

Does anyone still have that pic? It was a red HB.
