Stock springs + shocks from an older model?

I'm curious whether there are any OEM springs + shocks from older civics that would drop an EK? I know GSR springs will drop about 0.75", and give the car the 'teg stance... which is freaking sweet.

But how about EG springs and such?

I was wondering....on a related note

With let's say a 2" or a 2.25" neuspeed springs drop

Will ITR shocks be adequate?
I heard my buddy say 'yes'

92-95 shocks can fit on a 96-00 car.

springs interchange

as for stance and attitude, you are left to your own wits to mix and match till you get something you like.

just buy a set of matched springs

Pick up some used OEM ITR springs. I've seen them for sale for about $100. They will give you about a 0.75 inch drop.
