Default DA struts/springs on 95 civic...possible?

Alright guys. Will struts/springs from a 92 integra fit on a 95 ej1 and visa versa? Ive heard mixed answers. Some people say no, others say you need to swap out the forks on the front or the LCA's in the back? Anybody really know for sure? Tried searching but all i could find was DC struts to 92-95 civics.

I faintly remember a thread about this, and i believe the outcome was a no, that the DA suspension components are not interchangable with that of any EG's/EJ's.

From what I know, the rear struts will work (I put an old pair of 92-95 civic rear KYB's on my old DA and they worked fine.) Front ones wont because of the fork being different (I tried it, they didnt work, so I ordered new ones.) As for the springs, they will work, however youve gotta remember that integra spring rates (from what I know) are different because the integra's are a little heavier that the civics. BUT, I put my civic ground control coilovers and springs on the front and rear of my DA, and they worked fine. All in all, Id say its a go with the rear struts for sure, but Im not positive about the rest. Hope this helped a little!

DA rear shocks will NOT go on an EG...trust me. EG rear shock will go on a DA however.

The reason for this is that the DA rear shocks and springs are longer than the EGs. The spring perch on the DA shock does not clear.

Now...I was actually trying this on an EG with DC rear brake swap...so it MIGHT work with the stock drum set up...but I highly doubt it.

When I put my EG rear's on my DA, I put the stock DA rears on my 93 coupe for the meantime (I had it off the road for a year so I could fix some things) and the stock DA rears bolted right up (stock DA shocks and springs,) I have a rear disc swap from a DC as well. I drove it once while I had them on, didnt feel weird to me.
