As long as you got the sturt, the sleeve will fit. Spring rate maybe different. Make sure you got a stiff sturt or else the car will bounce.

Vis, Ground Control, Tien, JIC Magic. I've also heard that EF Civic coilover sleeves will fit, but I've never tried it.

Spring lower to a fixed height, say 2" drop and that's it.
Coilover is adjustable. So you can get +/-4". The main reason for coilover is to adjust weight transfer. Like lower the front more to shift weight to the front. Also coilover usually have stiffer spring rate. Lowering spring are usually have a more comfort ride.

Was checking Eibach sping for my 90 GTS. Found out its same spring for 89-99 So my guess on coilover was correct
