Just curious, would stock springs for a Type R fit on an EX hatchback without modification?

They will fit, but you will be seriously underdamped if you use the stock shocks/struts.

So super bouncy due to less stiff shocks/struts? Does the entire suspension transfer over? Could I get full Type R shocks, struts and springs?

If anyone has done this I'd love to see how your hatch sits on the stock wheels after. Hearing that the Eibach setup speaks when turning at slower speeds has me researching other options now.

As far as i know, it is a No, it cannot be transferred over, it is a complete different suspension system
