I wouldn't try it, most likely won't make your car handle right, you have two different cars with different weights and spring rates, if it actually fits, I don't think it'll produce good handling results

The suspension is the same, between the cars, so if you have the same shocks as the donor (Ground Controls are sized for the shock they go on),then they'll work.

I wouldn't listen to this, unless you know more about them. The default rates for the Integra are fairly stiff, compared to stock, and even the Civic rates are going to be stiffer than stock, so they'll be an improvement. However, if they were originally ordered with custom rates, then you need to do some research and decide if those rates are what you want.

But don't do anything with stock shocks. You're going to lower the car and use stiffer springs, make sure you have shocks that can handle it.
