Default need help with suspension

i just aquired adjustable struts/shocks and lowering springs by GAB.

we had taken the front struts off, removed the fork off the stock one and tried putting it on the GAB struts. the fork ill not fit around the strut. just curious if there are any newer civics or whatever honda car i could use that would have a bigger rounded fork..

sorry if this doesnt make sense...

its for a 91 civic hb w/ jdm rear disc conversion. the rears should go on no problem, its just the front.

Sounds like you have suspension pieces for 92+ civic. Get 92+ forks and they should work.

ok, i got everything installed now.

i can't figure it out, but the rear is slammed now, but the front is jacked. both ends have lowering springs on them, so i dont kno wtf is going on.

ive never used adjustable struts/shocks before, so could this be causing the front end to be jacked?

thanks

compare them to your old shocks...
are the spring perches in different places on the shock?
