I'm not even sure theyd fit but why not just find some springs that are for YOUR car?

Even if they did fit theyre still designed for an Accord which is much heavier than your car.

So I guess by your suggestions none of you have tried it, which was my question.

I carry lots of heavy stuff arround in the trunk and need to jack up the back some 1-2" and I figured the accord spring rate may be a little stronger than the del sol.
The accord isn't too far away from an accura anyways. I can't find new springs that don't want to lower the suspension. I can find used civic and del sol springs but can't find any loading or spring rate info on them so I'm just guessing accord springs may work. They WILL fit, and probably jack it up some, I was asking if anyone had done it to help me decide if they would work.
When you look at the coilover sellers, they use the same part number for a del sol as a civic 4 door and I know there has to be a need for a lighter spring in the rear for the del sol, but go figure that one too.
Anywhoo, I ordered an expensive set of koni 1150's with progressive springs as the darn dropzone **** I got makes it into a skate board. Koni told me that one can screw em up at least 1.5" and down 2".

civicjoe, if you can't be constructive with your advice then don't give it.
