if u can get the dimensions of a full spring. I have an extra set of coilovers, that fit on a prelude, but i've never used em.

I have 4 springs and 2 sleeves. Let me know if u need something. I'm on other prelude forums too, but under a different name

change it asap, and whats your budget? I would go with GC or shunk2 coilovers.

i dont know the dimensions on em the guy just gave the 2 rear ones when i got the car off him still in the box i had to get em installed the box had no logo neither did the coilovers so im guessing theyre a cheap set
what brand are the coilovers you have ?

You'd be better off letting it sit for a little bit until you can repair it rather than drive it now and risk the spring completely breaking and causing some real damage.
