The only difference between 92-95 Civic, 94-01 Integra (excl. Type R), and Del Sol coilovers are the spring rates. Most of the other suspension components are compatible too so long as you put some thought into it - ABS parts for ABS cars, rear disc parts for rear disc cars, etc. 96-00 Civic coilovers can be used but the rear LCA uses a smaller bushing so you should avoid them if possible (and don't swap in a 96-00 rear LCA because they're longer).

There is a FAQ on part compatibility, linked from Syndacate's "NEW FAQ'S INDEX - '92-'00 CIVIC / DEL SOL" sticky at the top of the forum.
