Default 96 teg springs on a 93 dx

i have a 93 civ and my buddy has a 96 integra and is getting rid of his 2.5" springs for coilovers. the search gave me mixed reviews so i was wondering if you guys could help me with a true answer. would these springs fit my civic?

thanks.

Both cars use the same shocks, so yes they will fit.

If they were springs they might make the car sit funny because of how they're designed according to the car's weight distribution, but since they're coilovers you can adjust them so this doesn't matter.

I ment he is getting rid of his drop springs and putting coilovers in there place. i am just getting the springs that came off his car, and using my stock struts. this will work right?
sorry about that, now that I read it i can see how that could be confusing

To clairify once more i'm getting a set of aftermarket springs from a 96 integra and was planning on using them on my 93 coupe dx with the stock struts.

i'm getting them tonight and i dont wanna seem like a dink i'm just crushed for time a simple yes or no would be great.

thanks guys

I think the answer was yes, they will certainly fit, but you'll have to put them on and see if you like how the car sits. The weight may be different front to back compared to the Integra so the car wouldn't be quite level. This may or may not be a problem. If it is, you could still use two of them and replace the other two with something else.

Yes they will fit but they might sit odd. However, I do not think that will happen, because the Integra and Civic are very, very similar. I'm using Civic springs on my del Sol that aren't designed for it and they work fine.
