swapping springs

[Shaggsbud]

Ok, this one might not even be possible, but any help would be appreciated as right now I'm at work but am also too lazy to go measure things...

I need to know if the springs off my 89 lx will fit on my mom's 94 lx....both macpherson struts...only difference is the 89 springs are 2.25" lowering springs..Basically I'm trading my mom vehicles....so I need to return the 89 to stock height...

neither are mcpherson. both are double wishbone. and i'm pretty sure that they are different sizes.

Either way...I guess I'll have to go measure da springs...

Pretty sure it won't work but have never tried it myself. Easiest thing to do is pick up a set of stock springs from the junkyard or find someone on 3geez who has an extra set. A lot of people have lowered their cars so they have the stock stuff just laying around.

Heh, I'd have mine right now, but my fam-damly has moved 2 times since I got my car...so my stockies are perma-gone

oh damn the newer accord springs are way too tall to fit in your car.
