94 Del Sol with sagging springs - Suspension question.
Looks like the springs have started to sag on my '94 Del Sol. I found an ad on craigslist for H&R Sport springs with GSR shocksfor an Integra (DC2) that are reasonably priced. I've read conflicting information regarding the interchangeability of suspension components between the two platforms, however. Most posts I've read state that the springs will bolt on directly to my Sol, but since the rates are different, the ride will be a bit stiffer and the drop will be less than the advertised 2" on the teggy. Since I have 17" wheels on my vehicle, minimal lowering is a plus. Others have said that the shocks will not bolt on at all, and some have said that I will need washers on the rear, since the DC shock fork is a little wider. Just want to know if the good price will bring me any headaches, or if I should keep saving for direct replacement parts.

Re: Suspension question.
Well, the rear of the vehicle is sitting slightly lower than the front. I was told that it "sounds like the springs are sagging." I never bothered to check anything else because I assumed it was time to replace the coil springs.

Re: Suspension question.
It's very unlikely that OEM springs suddenly sag. I would imagine it's more likely bushings or suspension geometry that is out of what.
It's spring steel, much more likely that rubber bushings go bad.
