the springs should be labeled front and rear on them

prolly a F for the front and R for the rear

but they are used so the labels are probably worn off...

If the labels are worn off, then how can he read the part #'s?

That part # is for the Race springs for an Acura. The suspension for the Eg Civics and the Integras are more or less the same, so they will fit, but the drop might not be as low because an Integra is heavier. Long on front, short on back.

Spring rates are different I suppose, but normally they will fit.

Front springs are longer and kindda skinnier than the rears.
Rear springs are a bit fat, and shorter compare to fronts.
Its very easy to distinguish them from each other if you put them all besides each other...

hhh

every one respect for the feedback thanks a lot yea they are suppose to drop like 2 1/4 in the front and its still /4 inch of the tires so i dont know what else to do... if anyone has civic springs or coil overs let me know thanks and guess what else happened for the rear ma bolt that connects the body to the suspension snapped so gotta drill it and get new ones.. cuz they got jammed for somewhat reason............

ye seizing is common.

fronts have thicker coils usually
if you look at them vs the rears, the rears will have thinner coils

those damn pressure fit bolts! I hate those things!
sounds like you may have to torch those suckers out...means new (used) lower control arm - or new bushings depending what you can salvage and possiblly a strut, and depending on where it is seized.

welcome to the glorious joy of working on honda suspension...

just grab a new bushing and bolt

use a grinder or cutoff wheel to cut out the old one from the fram then work on it

if you seriously think that, then you have your springs on backwards. this is INCORRECT
