Anyone ever tried doing this? I just replaced my front shocks and springs (tokico blues because I found a brand new pair for $60, and brand new OEM Honda springs) I want to replace the rears now. The car has for several years sagged badly in the back, so I want something stiffer than OEM springs, I had initially planned to order GS-R springs, but now I'm wondering about using a pair of high mileage front CX hatchback springs.

The car is a '94 DX sedan. It's my daily driver and the roads I'm on are terrible, frost heaved, potholes you name it. I'm also frequently carrying a lot in the trunk (transmissions, differentials etc) So I want something heavier than stock, but I don't want the rear end to sit up higher than the front either (not noticeably higher anyway)

 

Not entirely sure but I believe you can get integra springs with ur OEM struts and itll be stiffer then OEM honda springs

 

You can, that was my original plan. Then I came up with the this Idea and wondered if anyone else had tried it. I have a set of good used front springs so I don't have to buy them, I'm just worried it's going to sit high in the back or have weird spring rates.

 

I would think the rates would be way diff because you have to account for the engine weight on the front and not the rear. My front and rear springs look completely different from eachother also

 

I think the car would sit way high in the rear with front springs used on the back.

 

The fronts are a lot heavier, but they otherwise look more or less the same.

That's what i'm thinking. It's not loaded all the time, but it does happen often.
