Default interchangeable suspensions?

ok so I have looked throughout the site and can't find a thing... even resorted to calling a few people and stumping them. My brother and i are wondering if his setup (lowering springs and shocks) from a '98 integra ls will fit into my em1 (2000 civic si). any advice or a point in the right direction would be much appreciated. thanks in advance.

someone else said that there was some spacers needed for the dampner to fit into the LCA's correctly is that true or has anyone done this without using spacers?

well, i really dont think spacers are needed. right now i have integra shocks on my 89 crx.

the only difference between cars are the length of the lca and the thickness of the lca itself [metal]. the bushings are exactly the same width.

you shouldnt have a problem putting those in. the integra shocks are a little less than half an inch longer than the em1 shocks. it bolts right up no problem.
