Anything from any 1988-2000 Civic or 1990-2001 Integra will fit.


Seeing how you have an EK, the best DIRECT FIT OEM shock for you would be from a 99/00 Civic Si.

in that case find the stock suspesion of any 96-00 civic. If you use 92-95 civic/94-01 integra shocks you'll need to use washers for the rear shocks.

He is correct! The EK lca is thinner than the EG/DC.

Yes. All the shocks are interchangeable between all 88-00 Civics or till 2001 teggys, but all 88-95 or 93-97 Del-Sol or 90-01 integra will need a few washers to act as spacers between the rear shock fork and shock bushing on an EK rear LCA.

The fronts are direct fit.

Well the 88 CRX had the ITR stlye LCA in the rear so the shock would not be a direct fit.

yea the CRX is different, i know 89+ is the same though, but i was referring to the Civic, not the CRX.
