Coupe Springs/Struts for a Hatchback?
Coupe Springs/Struts for a Hatchback?
Heya, I'm new and pretty motor-challenged, and was wondering if the springs and or struts out of a 98 civic coupe would work in my 93 civic hatchback. The struts look different so I think I'm hooped there but would I be able to put the springs from the coupe onto the hatchback struts or is it just sized all wrong?

I got these ones for cheap, 100$ for all 4 of them, when the wrecker wants 300$. My springs are toast from the previous owner. Wondering if these ones will fit or if I'm gona have to try and resell them.

Re: Coupe Springs/Struts for a Hatchback?
I am not a 6th gen owner and do not know them very well, so first thing you should do is to check if the outside diameter of the springs are the same (fitting to the shocks and top mounts).
I am not sure if the springs have different rates in the sedan and hatch either, but if they different, they could behave differently at the limit (hatchs are more prone to oversteer than sedan/coupe), so not sure what it would do to the car.
Hopefully someone more knowleadgeable on the 6th gen will butt in here.
