All suspension parts from ALL 92-00 civics are interchangable. Only difference between them are the spring rates.

That's what I thought. I just sold some kid my stock springs this morning. He just called me earlier and said the mechanic just installed them and the front is slammed, and the rear is high.

No, story went he bought a Civic that was already lowered and now he wants to raise it. So I told him my springs will fit, and so he bought it. Now he wants a refund, which I'll gladly refund his money. I just wanted to know if his mechanic is a dumbass or not.

I think the mechanic is a real dumbass and put the front springs on the rear and the rears on the front.

That's exactly what I'm think. And I told him that too, but he's like "no, the mechanic is a professional".

Is he local?(to you) If so, go look at the car and ask him who this "professional" is, where he works, and what are his "professional" credentials. If they are on right, I think his shocks are just blown to hell like Vap said, and wants his money back.

He said he took it to a shop. He told me he called Honda and the part numbers are different. When he told me the front is slammed and the rear is high, first thing that came to mind is that he has rear springs front and vice versa. He's now gonna buy OEM springs from Honda for the correct fitment.

HAHAHAHAHAHA I'm gonna laugh my *** off when you come back on here saying telling us he called you saying that his car is still like that even with new springs. Then once he does, tell him you want your money back.
