Default H&R - civic race springs on integra

im looking at a set of h&r race springs for my teg. however, the spring rates are higher for a 96-00 civic than for a 94-01 integra. the drop is lower for the civic.

integra Race spring:
Rate: Front- 460 Rear-350
Drop: Front- 2" Rear- 1.75

Civic Race spring:
Rate: Front-480 Rear-about 370
drop: Front-2.5" Rear-2.3"

would the drop differ for my integra with the civic springs? does the civic just sit higher than a stock integra? please help!

i may be completely wrong but here is what i came up with.

use your head... do a little math

-look at weight differential of the vehicles
-as for the rates being different, i think it's because they're measure when they are installed.

i'm going to be putting a set of h&r race off a 97 civic onto my 94 del sol soon. they drop the civic 2.5F 2.3R. the actual del sol race springs drop it 2.5F 2.25R. hope somebody helps you out soon.

20 lb per inch isnt much. it depends on how low you want to lower the car..
