Default Ground Control Spring/Sleeve Combo - Part #'s

Long Story Short. I purchased a set koni specific ground control sleeve/spring to install on my EG. After receiving them, I noticed the box states:

Kit Part # - 1015.02
This Kit fits: 90-93 Integra w/ Konis

The markings on the actual springs are:

Fronts: 20461
0700.250.0400 (spring rate is 400)

Rears: 180690
0700.250.0500 (spring rate is 500)

My question is, are these springs compatible with an EG application?

You should have a part/sku number starting in #4530 depending on the type you have. I would still double check with GC.

530.677.8600 is Ground Controls phone number, I'm not trying to be a dick but it's really important that you find something out like this for yourself and hear it from the guys who made it, they might say it's okay for you to use them and the spring rates are the same and the koni struts are the same.. so who knows, i remember the old old integra people would use the old school CRX suspension on their cars.

Update:

I called GC and they were a big help. Considering the Spring/Sleeve combo is "KONI SPECIFIC", it will work on a all Integras from 1990-2001 and all Civics from 1998 - 2000. The koni body diamater is the governing dimension/factor in my case. This diameter is universal for the above mentions years on the integras and civics.

You should have 8" springs front and 7" springs rear. However the 7" front springs will probably work without an issue.

If you want to sell the fronts drop me a PM.

Good stuff! Yeah GC is always of big help when I bug the **** ouf of them. I'm considering sending my springs in for something harder or go with those Function & Form Type 2's.

Anyways, glad you got it worked out. Did you ask them what the off-the-shelf spring rates are for your car specific coilover? That might also be helpful in knowing for future references.
