EK springs into EF?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but '96+ Civic (EK) springs will fit on an EF, will they not?

I have a set of EK springs off of a '96+ Civic that I was planning on using on my EF when I change my shocks since my stock springs are probably all worn out from the 250k kms that are on them.

Are EK SiR springs a little bit lower than just regular EK springs and are the spring rates any better? I wouldn't mind lowering my hatch just a tiny little bit and the SiR springs might be the way to do that on a budget.

I'm also afraid that the stock EK springs that I already have may raise the ride height when compared to my old, and possibly, sagging springs that are on the car now ... any suggestions/comments? Thanks.

I have ITR coil overs on my 91hb, so i would think SIR springs would fit.

96-00 Si - 165F/80R
99-00 SiR - 201F/99.8R

so SIR is 35lb front and 20lb rear stiffer...you'd never notice so just get EK springs instead of paying extra for SIR. ITR springs are 250/250 and ITR would lower about 0.75".

all rates are from clubsi.com
