Default Lower spring question

I have CRX lowering springs (not sure of brand). I wanted to try and put them on my all stock 96 EK hatch, due to lack of funds to buy appropriate coilovers / springs for my car. I was wondering how big the drop might be also will they work effectively for daily driving?

If they were made for a CRX, the drop might be more on your hatch than the CRX due to the hatch being heavier. It should be ok for daily driving.

Thanks! Do you think handling would be sloppy? Not for racing or anything, but taking turns over 20 mph etc etc..

Thanks for the help!! I guess the only real way is to find out. If it's too bad I'll just throw the stocks back on!
