Default 96-00 coupe or sedan springs work on a hatch?

are the spring heights the same? are spring rates the same? anybody actually done this, cuz the part numbers are different on majestic honda, but i figured it could "work".

Spring rates I'm not postive, but looking at the height of stock EJs, I'm gonna say they are not very different. Yes all 96-00 Civic springs will fit each other's chassis

LOL, okay, so only 96-00 civic springs on a 96-00 car?

some people were trying to tell me that ef or eg springs would also work, but that doesn't seem likely.

Spring will work, as will front shocks, but the rear shocks have fitment issues with the rear LCA's.
