Default Anyone know if Bilstein Sport is compatible with stock springs?

Hey guys, it's been a while since I posted here, I was wondering if you guys could help.

I ordered a set of Bilstein Sport for my 1999 Civic Si, and I was wondering if they are compatible with the stock springs? Reason why I ask is after some reading, the Sport shocks are 1 inch shorter. Will that necesitate new springs that are intended to lower the car?

I do not want to lower the car's ride height, and was hoping someone here has had experience or knows if the Bilstein Sport is compatible with the stock springs. Any help with this is greatly appreciated, thanks.

The stock springs will work. The only difference is that they might have a little more preload (how much they are compressed) on them compared to the stock shocks.
