Default a newb question on suspension install

so I plan on replacing the shocks and springs on my 93hb, but have a question or two. will the shocks and springs that I purchase for my bone stock eg still work in the future if and when I swap the control arms and whatever else that gets swapped out. as u can see, I dont know **** about all the possible swaps, but I really need to lower the car to get it handling a little better. I'm really new to honda (I've been a german car person all my life, yea not sure why) so I will like to get to really understand what can be swapped with what, but at the sametime I cant wait that long to lower my new 93hb. thanks

As long as you don't swap in ITR lower control arms then you will have no problems. I don't know of any other rear lower control arms that would change the shock fork type other than the ITR ones.

Yea you will be fine. One thing you might want to consider is getting suspension for a 94+ integra. That way you will have better spring rates if/when you swap the motor.

would I need to swap my lower control arm from a 94+ integra to run shocks and springs meant for the integra? sorry for this lame questions, the search feature is not working with me too well

pretty much all of the integra components are the same as the civic stuff. So you can just order shocks/springs meant for an integra so you get stiffer rates and it will still bolt up to your car.
