Default Strut setup?

So I've got a 91 DA and I picked up a full set of Tokico Blue Strust and Neuspeed Springs for a steal cause the guy just needed cash and wanted them gone.

The issue is they ended up being for a 91 Accord.

How different are those struts. I know the forks are different but is it even possible to make them work if the forks were to be switched?

Just measure the height between your stock ones and the Tokicos, if they are the same length and around the same diameter I dont see what they wouldnt. They look almost identical to me.

Yeah I know the distance on the bolts on the forks are quite a bit off from each other but the length looks similar i'll have to tear one out and check.

Unless someone else can post a for sure answer. Lol.

Because the valving is intended for a heavier car with different spring rates. Even if they look identical, they won't function the same.

Not saying it won't be acceptable, or even that it will be worse (might be better), but it certainly won't be the same.

And it's SHOCKS people. Neither Integras nor Accords have struts.

I won't be keeping the springs on there for all that long if I can get the shocks in there. I'll be picking up a set of coilover sleeves soon.

I'm thinking tho for the deal I got for these I may just sell them and use that money to get the actual shocks that will work to save myself the hassle.
