yea i looked at it last night. Looks like the rears are only shorter which is great, the fronts are a bit taller but they also mount lower plus im getting yellows so i might be able to slip them in even thurther.

I havent see the struts yet, if they are good ill probably grab them, if not ill have to get a set from weaksos

as you can see if you line up the bottom mounting point for the fork the rest seems pretty much even

All i can say to you guys is that EG suspension does NOT make your car lower! The forks are not smaller, and the shocks do not mount shorter.


The EG suspension has a different spring rate Than the EF, And the diameter of the strut housing is also thicker. So EG forks require EG struts.


Not to mention you have to look at the literal mounting point of the spring perch and position of the fork when mounted. So from the looks of the pictures, the EG rear shocks have more travel than the EF and DA shocks, But the front is almost the same, due to the position of the spring perch and fork mount.

Also keep in mind that the bigger the bumpstop the less clearance you have at the tophat. So a shorter bumpstop means more travel at the tophat.......cut bump stop=shittier ride.


Things to keep in mind that will literally lower your car:

Shorter forks (mount the position of the complete strut assembly lower)
shorter springs (lower the ride)
shorter spindles ( Moves the position of the axle higher)

And from there you can work on suspension travel,

it"s ok bro, not everyone is going to like it and i understand that. but the reason i did this to the car is for the fact that a local honda day was that day and i just wanted people to tagg up my fender( it had 3 dents on the wheel arch) so i painted it black,but after being there for less that an hour the fender was filled,and since the car needs a respray badly(main color,and moldings) i let them do the moldings,trunk,bumper,and lip(without tagging up the main panels).i think it's diffrent and alot of people liked it,more people gathered around my car more than anyother car at the show.

and no the 16"s dont rub at all(misha they are 16"S btw lol),and i love your car!!! it's kinda hard to find ef2 parts on the east coast. currently looking for a rhd ef2 subframe for the completion of my rhd conversion but no luck.

Did you check the pins inside the black box on the battery where the harness connects to? One of mines didn't work and I thought it was the motor but wasn't. It ended up being that one of the pins inside the box had broke and wasn't making any contact.

I think you missed my point. I never said that it will lower my car more, lol

All the things you just said about susp are correct and i already know them.

I just happen to find a set of yellows off a EG for sale locally, so i might pick em up and i wanted to refresh my memory on the differences between the generations.
