Default Suspension question (1st gen CR-V)

I've gone over every thread that I could find, Googled over/over again, and asked around and I finally decided to make a thread and hoped to get a final answer.

Since the 98 Accord shocks fit in the rear will they also fit in the front? My plan is to run Accord shocks and coilover sleeves.

I'm already familiar with spring rates, dampening, and etc. I'm just curious if the shock itself will fit into the forks and be the proper size.

Those threads have so much b.s. in them that a straight yes/no answer to my question would be nice. I've already read them numerous times.

The first two won't pull up on my browser and the last one is about wheel offset more than shock fitment. Thank you for your concern though.

the spring rates would be a bit off.. if your looking for cheap coilovers I've heard yonaka makes coilovers for them around $500 brand new and have a decent ride.

When this thread was created (2 years ago), I am pretty sure the only options were Fortune and K-Sport for direct fitment setups. That's why most people don't bump old threads in the first place though, especially bad ones like this.

I have to say that there are enough threads here with people, members, experimenting with different setups and they also have a review. You should check them out.

edit: SOB, didnt realize this was an old thread.
