yeah they are the same...

only difference is if the springs were made for a coupe.. they may sag a bit more in the rear on a sedan... civic sedan = EL

but other than that.. yes it'll work!

Physically they'll fit, but Nameless got it right - if the springs were made for a coupe, do yourself and the buyer a favour and mention the sag. H&R's in particular are bad for the EL's. I know there's one EL on Progress but I forget who and where I saw the pic. Minimal sag but if I recall he had just installed them so they hadn't fully settled yet.

03-Acura-1.7-EL is a glorious beacon of light

^^
Agree,
I had H & R on my EL and they did sag at the rear, I also had Eibachs Sportlines, it was a little better, but did not like how they looked. Now I have Tein coilover and it is fine.
EL = Civic = exact fit for springs

yeah they will fit ...but i hate the way some springs sag a bit at the rear.
i ended up getting adjustables just for the rear to get it just right the way i like it...
