Default Will dc after market suspension fit on eg?

ive search and cant seem to find my answer to my question. Im looking into purchasing after market suspension for my jdm gsr swapped 95 eg hatch. my question is will 94-01 integera after market struts with after market eg springs fit on my eg. a friend told me that the dc struts are stronger vs the eg struts? is this true?. or would i need to go with dc struts and dc springs and also with either combination will it work with the stock wish bone that comes on my eg.? any help would be greatly appreciated. i plan on getting front and rear camber kit. thanks all.

Stronger? Er what? Why do you not get the suspension for your car? Makes no sense. Stop listening to your stupid friends.

How much extra weight do you actually think you're compensating for?

ok theres no reason to be nasty im just asking will the dc struts work with eg springs. I mean dc ways more so you would think the struts would be more rugged?

It "ways" more? They shocks are the same!!! That's why I said to stop listening to your friends. You're over-complicating things.

First you say aftermarket springs and shocks then you say EG/DC spring and shocks. Which is it?

Anyway they are interchangeable. They DC springs and shocks will have differnent valving or spring rates. It has nothing to do with being stronger or weaker. Which means the DC's will prolly be a lil stiffer for OEM or aftermarket but you'd really have to know the valving and spring rates to actually compare them.

Motor weight difference? Like, 10 pounds, if that. if the only reason you're swapping out your suspension with DC OEM just because of the new motor, don't waste your time or money.

I'm running tein basic dampers off a DC into my EG. They are interchangable, but the spring rates and ride height adjustments are different if you compare both models. Integra has higher spring rate vs civic so take note of that.
