Default springs and shocks fitment

I have a set of gc springs and shocks for a 99 civic ex. Will these fit a crx,integra,or older civics? I know the spring rates are different, but how different. My girlfriend had a 99 civic and totaled it b 4 we could put them in.

BTW these could be for sale

theyre not the same.

youre always going to be better off selling the incorrect springs and buying the correct springs than trying to shoehorn incorrect suspension components in.

So does this mean they will only fit 96-00 civics? Or lets say the springs will fit anything from 88 and up, but the shocks will fit anything 96 and up?
I need to know what these will fit in any car. If i use them or sell them, i need to know

I will sell these cheap

neither shocks nor springs are the same as 88-91 suspension.

The rears will not fit because of the LCAs.
