Ball-joint differences between EF and EG?
I want to buy MFactory's "front roll center adjusters" they're taller lower ball joints.
They don't seem to fit EFs though. I checked the part number on Auto-Zone's website and sure enough, the EF uses a different ball-joint than the rest of the Hondas. Does anyone know the difference between the EF and the rest of the Honda lower ball joints?

There is no difference. All Civic/CRX/del Sol from '88-00 and Integras from '90-01 use the same front lower ball joint. AutoZone is wrong.

The OE numbers are not the same, but they are physically the same joint (or at least interchangeable). We only use the '90-93 Integra-specific part number at our shop (51220-SK7-013) for simplification.
This definitely isn't the only case where Honda has regenerated the same part with a different part number. Brake pads and air filters are big offenders of that.
Edit: That same ball joint also fits '86-89 Accord, '88-91 Prelude, and of course '97-01 CR-V.
