Default Rsx springs in a o3 si?

I was wondering if i would be able to use a set of tein springs from a rsx in my si . The reason i ask this is because the spring rate is almost three times as much for the rsx than it is for the si.
SI: front157 Rear : 291
RSX:Front:307 Rear:492
Much higher on the rsx

I think someone tried this before, and it lowered a little in the front, and raised the rear.

That was Suk02Si (not sure if he's on here or not...). But he was just using stock
RSX springs, not the tein RSX springs. You could always give it a shot, drive
carefully, then sell them if it doesn't feel/look right. Or just buy a set that's made
for the Si.

I dunno if the Teins will be the same, but the stock RSX rears have two more coils and are progressive
