A friend of mine is wanting to put some '00 Civic springs on his '92 Civic and just wanted to ask if those would fit. I have had 92-95 Civics for years, but never had this situation come up. Thank you in advance for any help.

 

No. Mounting points where the bottom of the spring lays are different and a think the 2000 springs are wider.

 

yes. They will fit. Notice how lowering spring manufacturers make springs for "
92-00" civics? The springs are of the same dimension.

Shock manufacturers also make shocks for "92-00" civics.

That alone should tell you that the springs are the same.

I've put 99 civic springs on a 92 with 92 shocks. They fit just the same. Yes, they will work. For sure.

 

i think they are exactly the same..they should fit... but if he has a set of springs,all he has to do is try ...

 

you learn something new everyday.. my bad. I was just going by what i had saw on a buddy's si and comparing that to the aftermarket stuff on my 92 CX. opps

 

yes they will fit.
92-00 springs are interchangeable.
gotta love honda for making life easy.

i installed my buddies old set-up on my 96 coupe.
and he had a 92 coupe.

 

Thank you all for the help. Pretty much everything said above is what I had thought as well, just wanted to make sure.

 

i think even the integra springs fit cuz i have lowering springs off of a 97 integra and they fit on my EJ8

 

yup, you are correct

 

It's worth noting that the shocks themselves are not identical. Fronts are 1005 interchangable, but 92-95 have brake hose brackets, while 96-00 do not. Rear shocks on the 92-95 have a wider lower fork on them, so when using 92-95 shocks on a 96-00 you need to add washers, and whn using 96-00 shocks on a 92-95 you must remove material from the lower control arm bushings/sleeves to get them to work.

Other than those two differences they are interchangable.

 

^ I know. I was trying to keep it simple, though.

 

BTW I don't think anyone has pointed this out yet:

There is no such thing as a 1992 Civic coupe

The coupe was first introduced in the 1993 model year.

 

96-00 springs will fit 92-95, but for shocks the fronts are interchangeable but rears are different but will fit with a little cutting of the bushing

 

Honda tech information....now in stereo surround sound.

 

Another option for putting 96-00 rear shocks on a 92-95 (although more time consuming) is to swap the rear shock/LCA bushings.
