I have a 93 coupe and some guy is trying to sell me a set of H&R Sports for a 96-00 civic. He says they will fit and will sit the same but I wanted to see what you all thought. Thanks all!

98civdx

yea they will fit.

rugimpy

Have you tried them? Do they sit the same? Cause they have different part numbers on the H&R website.

98civdx

i have not with h&r but i have with integra springs.

rugimpy

Yea, but dc's and ej1's are more interchangeable than the 96-00 civics. Im worried they wouldnt work. I want someone that has done this. Please!

The only thing thats different about 92-95 suspension and 96-00 suspention is where the rear struts mount to the lower control arms. So I would say there definity gona fit

batallic

they will fit i have 96-00 full coilovers, on my 93 ex, i did have to trim the bushing for the rear shocks to work BTW

rugimpy

So im going to have to trim the bushings is what you are saying?

98civdx

^^ NO, only if you use ek shocks, becuase the eg lca is a little widder then the 96-00 shock, like i said they will fit just fine.

i say use what they say to use for your car. if it doesnt say 92 to 95 or 92-00 i wouldnt use it.

rugimpy

Yea, see im paying to have these shipped and I may not be able to get a refund if they dont fit, so I am hesitant if I dont know for sure. I almost feel I should just use whats for my car as well.

batallic

they will fit, but if yur hesistant then dont use it

freeagent

thats like saying i wouldnt use a b series because its not meant to be in my 92 dx.....

iamthefollower

x2, they will fit, but if you are terribly worried, just don't buy em.

98civdx

then dont buy them

rugimpy

Sorry to bring this back up, but I have another question. The springs may fit fine, but what about the difference in spring rates? Are the weights going to make the springs sit higher? Thanks.

They are lowering springs arent they? Just to warn you, if they arent adjustable your ride is going to be rock hard, no bounce. Also, as long as they arent custom springs, all springs (not struts) from 88-2000 are compatible with eachother. The springs themselves are totally interchangeable. Struts however, are unique to their generation. (ex. 88-91, 92-95, 96-00)

But in terms of buying online, If you aren't 100% comfortable with buying the product, i would look for something else. Someone could just be trying to pawn something off on you.

98civdx

yes there is a difference, it could ether make it sit a bit higher or lower.

also Bender C/F how do you know it will be rock hard?? just wondering

Bender C/F

i swapped my stock springs for non-adjustable lowering springs on my 91 CRX Si.
The ride looked sick, but cracks and bumps in the road were brutal. The suspension might as well have been welded solid.

Ok, thanks guys. I appreciate the help.
