awesome.... thanks for the help, now that i think about it, i remember when i have my 92 hatch, i had a set of coilovers from my crx on it, and they worked perfect, so thanks for mentioning that, i think imma go ahead and buy these springs from my friend, and hope that its not tooooooooo low, because his tires were rubbing the fenderwells when he hit bumps, so im hopin it dont lower my car too much to where i rub the undeside of my car when i hit bumps......

thnks guys, and do you think that i will need a camber kit if i lower it like 2.25 inches?

always get a camber kit if lowering and you should not put lowering springs on stock struts makes for a crap ride IMO

i tried the springs... and they look GREAT! they are on stock springs for now, and it rides good, the best part is, i dont have any camber issues, everything looks like it did stock, only like 2.5 inches lower, so i am trying to tell you that if you have an 89-91 crx, and run across a set of lowering springs for a 92-95 civic, you can use them, but im not guarentee'n you that you wont have camber issues

Thanks for everyones input, and ill get some pictures of what it looks like after i loewred it later

88-00 Civic springs are all interchangable (though the rates might be different based on weight of the original car). The same goes for 94-01 integra springs (but weight is a factor here also).

Anyway, if you change the ride height with springs you will be changing the camber also, that's just how it is.
