Default Suspension Interchangability?

Ok, right now I have a 98 EX coupe with coilovers and koni yellows. On Wednesday I'm picking up a 97 DX Hatch and would like to put the coilovers and koni's onto the hatch and put the hatch stock suspension on my coupe. I guess my question is can you do this, or would the coupe ride like *** with stock hatch suspension?
TIA everyone.

Yeah I know. I would rather take a half hour to switch all of it than go to a shop and drop some more money on suspension again, cause I'm gonna be a broke *** after I pay for my new hatch.

while you're at it, ****** off the front swaybar and associated pieces you'll need and put them on the hatch.

i 2nd that.
then if you want a rear swaybar, you'll already have a front in place to make it a "complete package". so youll save money

where does one come into a complete suspension changeover? Short of buying a donor car... can anyone think of a reputable business that would salvage one off a car? I talked to the guys over at Import Auto Salvage, but they want almost $700 (plus shipping) for the whole setup off an 00' SI. Any other ideas? Thanks...

-sorry for butting in.

****, I forgot to mention that the car has had the rear drum brakes converted to discs. Is that going to make a difference? Thanks, everyone has been very helpful so far.
