Default Integra rear springs question

My buddy has an EG civic with a drag racing spring set on his car. The rear springs are stiff, I think he said something like 3 or 4 times stiffer than stock. It is supposed to keep the rear from squating. His car is like driving a go cart.

I want to do something similar to my CRX. I have a set of Integra 90-93 rear springs. These should be stiffer and from searching I have read they will raise the car but no one seems to mention how much it will raise it.

I also have a set of Civic Wagon rear shocks which will lower the car like 2+ inches.

I was hoping to get a measurement from you guys about the rear springs so I can figure out a final height with the wagon shocks.

Thanks

well, the physical height of the spring, if i remember right, is like 1.5-1.8 inches higher, but then it'll raise it even more because its harder to compress in because of the spring rate.
