Default civic coils on crv

ok i now people say you can do it but how because the rear control arms are different. how are you suppose to mount it up? the crv struts go threw the control arm to mount and it looks like the civic ones go outside of the control arm to mount.

i thought that too, until i looked up the spring rate of the skunk2 civic springs and skunk2 accord springs. Theyre the same (10k i believe?). I dont know if the length is different though.
