Default Suspention mixing and matching...will THIS work?

ok so here's the deal...
i have a 92 Vx
i can get teg trailing arms around here for 200$/set (CDN) but i was told that with theese, i would have to use my stock LCA's because the eg shocks/springs wouldent even fit in em. so i was thinking:

can i use the teg LCA's (because they have the mounting points for the sway bars) if i buy aftermarket full coilvers for that year of integra (im thinking 94-01) will that all bolt together and to my chassis?

thanks,

-SRH

rear trailing arms themsevles are all identical
92-95 civic lca's are the same as integra 94-01, other than the sway mount holes, so yes.
Shocks and springs for integra will also fit, but the spring rates will probably be higher

It'll all work

but the spring rates, wont it simply give me a higher ride height/stiffness?

since the used tiens im MOST LIKELY buying drop up to 3", it should put me where i want it (1"-2" drop over stock) and the stiffness isnt a good thing?
