Default Crx coilovers on an accord

I read on another forum that the coilovers from an EF or CRX can be put onto the accord with only changing the top hats for the coilovers. Could someone confirm this for me?

Although I don't doubt that the shock/spring attachment on various Honda models is similar, the problem is the actual spring load capacity and shock dampening will not be correct for the heavier Accord.
The spring rates may indeed be the same, but that means nothing when we are comparing a 2000lb vehicle vs a 3000lb vehicle.

You could always try contacting the tech dept of whatever brand C/O you are looking at and explain to them what you would like to do.

Ok man I was looking at race lands and I contacted them for the normal setup but they didn't have them. I belong to another forum and a guy on there did that quite a few times. I mean most of the weight is no longer in the car lol I need something better than ground control sleeves on KYB dampers. I think I could use them for the most part but will follow up with RL on that
