Default Will Accord springs fit on my car?

I just bought a pair of used Tein coilover springs. I picked them up cause they were dirt cheap. I'm using some crappy Weapon R coilovers right now. Could I swap these springs in either the front or back of my 90 CRX? The springs are 70mm.
btw they are 6kg non-tapered springs

This may be false information, but the spring rates for an accord and your car are going to be completely different, so when you put those on your car, it's going to make your car sit up much higher then it should(not enough weight to make the spring settle correctly). I think. Someone correct me if I am wrong. I just took a guess.

Yea I kinda figured that. If it sits high I can always cut it

If it doesn't fit I can always sell it

just wanted to know if it'll fit

it probably won't fit either, and even if they do, the car will handle VERY poorly and probably sag or sit oddly.....My recommendation is sell them on eBay and get some that actually fit

Ok. It sounds like your desperate, but trying to make springs from another car fit is one thing, but then actually thinking about cutting them is another. You know what, if it were me, I would save your money until you can find a nice spring/shock combo made specifically for your car. Good luck. Do not cut your springs. Ever!
