only springs that might fit our cars is the new si hatchback or rsx springs. actually i'm almost sure rsx spring will fit, not sure about the whole strut tho. as for an actual us integra springs fitting, sorry its not. of course you could make it but that would be stoopid too cause the suspension is different and so are spring rates.

why not just get springs that are made and tested specifically for our cars ? as vnlilman said the spring rate might not be made for our cars, the noises and bottoming out may not be worth it.

dude no offence but they aint going to work becuase we have mcphearson struts and the 2000 integras have a totally different suspension set up and they DO NOT use the mcphearson set up. So i wouldnt even bother trying.

ya i wouldnt even bother trying. it should be obvious. our front springs are 3 times bigger. if springs were that universal they wouldnt make different applications for different cars. why did you buy it anyways cause it was a 'type r'? whats so good about type r springs anyways?

springs arent the only thing thats part of a suspension. theres also shocks, front/rear strut bar, front/rear tie bar, sway bar, etc... how cheap could have they been anyways? $50? your still wasting $50 on install. and just because its good on one car doesnt mean its going to be good on another. like i said, springs arent universal... even if it is the same size, there are spring rates to take into account.
n you keep asking how much its going to drop... you should first worry about is it going to fit. no one has 00 teg-r spring on our civics cause it doesnt fit so no one really knows... you let us know after the install.

Hmm... I don't like that idea. VNlilMAN is right. There are a lot of other things to take in account to other than springs. But good luck anyways.

The springs are not going to fit in your civic. Return them.
