Default DC2 shocks on EG. Ride height?

Just curious, if anybody has installed DC2 shocks with stock springs to their EG. Would ride height change, compared to stock EG shocks? I now that spring rate differs, but what about height? thanks.

I don't think that the spring perches are at different heights on DC's compared to 5G Civics. Almost any aftermarket shock specifies "EG/DC".

Twin tube gas/hydraulic shocks cannot change ride heights unless their physical outer geometry is different.

If you're getting rake, its likely because of springs. Or because you didn't clock your bushings and the higher up end of the car doesn't have torn bushings...for another couple of days/weeks/months.

It's the springs.
