Default DC2 springs on EG?

so the integra and civic have alot of interchangeable parts. i am looking for a little bit stiffer springs for my civic, but dont want to drop it because i dont want to deal with camber. So my questions are: will the integra springs fit on my civic struts? What is the difference in the spring rate if any? Thanks in advance.

I don't know the EG rates... this should give you an idea though. (EK rates are logically slightly higher than EG rates)
96-00 EX factory - 165F/80R
99-00 Si (EM1) factory - 201F/99.8R
97, 00-01 ITR - 250F/250R
GS-R - 200F/95R

the question is how much is it going to raise the car? You'll end up with stranger camber issues due to going up rather than down.

a little camber does nothing bad. (little = 1-2*)
tires do not wear out that much faster. maybe 5% less life.

toe kills tires, which is also changed with camber adjustments and lowering/raising the car.

i thought the civic and integra has the same chassis, i mean i do have the gsr rear lower arms and swaybar on my civic. I would think the springs would be the same height, just stiffer?
