Default Stock suspension differences across civic/crx trims

Simple question:

Are the springs on the 88-91 Civic/CRX the same for hf, dx, SI, ex, and what have you?

I am looking into buying some stock suspension, and someone just offered up some stock HF springs. I checked on Majestic Honda, and the part numbers were different for the HF springs vs. my SI, however Majectic Honda is a little retarted, especially in the fact that none of their diagrams match the part listings anywhere on their website, so I do not know if I can trust them on this one.

I always thought they did, but I would like some input from those who actually know?

I FOUND 20 PAGES INDEXED FROM HONDA TECH'S CLASSIC FUNNY SEX STORIES THREAD BEFORE IT WAS DELETED. CLICK HERE FOR THE INDEX

^ That **** is insane! LMFAO!!!!

Regarding the springs I'd stick with Si's, do you plan on lowering car?

I have an Si and a DX hatch and both have aftermarket suspension now, the OEM springs "look" the same..

my car is dropped so hard that the tires go REALLY far into the fenders. The springs blew the crap out of my struts. I am flat out tired of it. I hate driving my car. If I didn't have to get to 2 jobs every day I would ride my bike everywhere, because it is that unenjoyable.

I can no longer deal with driving a lowered car at this point in my life. Hence while I am trying to go back to stock suspension.

look into H&R OE Sport springs. I love mine and they didn't cost much.

good luck

HF springs are weaker than Si.
