I've never compaired 95 civic springs. But I'll tell ya one thing I did compair the struts to the accord, WAY WAY to tall. That tell's me the springs gotta be the same way. A 4th gen spring may work in the rear provided that you change out the 3g rear upper strut mounts with 4th gen one's, since 4th gen rear springs are not as fat as 3g rear springs,.............providing those rear 4th gen upper mount will fit at all. And even if they do work, you might have a real funkyfied high rear end IF it works.

Frankly, my advice is to not even try any of it. You'll end up with allot of work and the chace of a postive outcome are super low.

I heard that most honda springs are iterchangeble, You would think that they would fit. I am gonna have them cut anyways. Also one of my friend has taken springs out of 94 Accord and put them into an 89 Civic....

You have interchangeability on other honda's, but not so on the 3g accord.

92-01 civic spirngs and 94-01 teg springs are the same. 88-91 civic springs and 90-93 teg springs are the same. 90-97 accord springs should be the same. 84-87 civic rear springs are the same as 86-89 teg rear springs. This is all possible because of chassis sharing or next to NO changes were done from one gen to another. THAT IS WHERE TALK OF SPRING SWAPING COME'S FROM. The catch is when you go from the 3rd gen accord to the 4th gen and beyond, they changed things big time.

As mentioned 3g accords use shorter front springs than the 4th gen and beyond accords and the 3g accord uses a fatter rear spring diameter while 4th gens and beyond use skinner springs. Since the 3g accords spring seat's on the strut bodies are not designed to hold a skinnier spring and the top mount isn't designed for a skinner springs, getting around that is going to be a tall order.

Keep in mind when you cut springs you don't end up just making them shorter, you actually make the allot stiffer, sturts aren't going to like that.

Like every one says, where they a will and money you can to any thing. But since you can get proper lowering springs that don't have the issue's I mentioned, you'll have to really think if it's worth it to try.

So the 95' stock civic front springs won't fit in my car even if they were cut?

Compair their diameter's. If the civic springs aren't as fat as the accord springs, you might not be able to get them to set in the accord struts spring seat's. Same concern for the top strut mount.

I never did ask this, why are you doing this? If your out to lower and cutting springs is ok with you, why not just cut the springs on the accord now. (Even though I don't recommend cutting springs since that makes them stiffer and the car will ride and drive like crap. I'll at least to with the flow here
).

Well that's the thing. The guy that owned it before HEATED and then cut the springs.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh man, heating a spring changes it structualy away from being a spring and towards just being simple steel with less spring qualities. Yeah it makes it softer, but putting those in, you got no idea how soft they are, might not offer enough control to get you from bottoming out and kissing the bump stops all the time. I kinda smell a reason why he's getting rid of them.

OH for cying out loud You do this over and over all over the board I'm tired of you doing it. Your in violation of member conduct rules you have been warned, continue to violate them and you will be banned.

Travis, you can be a good member here, I've seen you do it, I've seen you help others. But you've got to stop talking to these people that post things that piss you off. Learn to talk to them in a manner that doesn't violate any of the rules and yet gets you message across with out doing harm.

You don't need to get a 2nd dig on the guy, didn't you see that I spoke to him about his behavior. I Know what he did and I know why you yelled back. But when a moderator of adminsitration member speaks to the other person. It's alway best for you to let it go, that way it ends.

[Rendon LX-i]

ight man. its done. its all good now. thanks
