Default What's needed to make 92-95 Civic Shocks fit 89-91 Civic?

I have a brand new set of Tokico Adjustables for my 93 Civic, but I really want to use them on my 91 instead. Can this be done, or is it about impossible? Actually, I have an entire Ground Control setup for the 93 that I want to use, but I'm not worried about the perches or springs fitting because I know they will.

Thanks.

All U need is the Front Forks that hold the shock to the front lower control arm cause the Shock is bigger at the bottom from the 92 up so just get that and it will work perfect.

I guess one could always measure the shock and fork in the front to know for sure.

Also, the rear shocks from a 92-95 will fit the 88-91 rear just fine? I assume that they will, but just wanted to check. Thanks.

it will raise the car since the 92+ strut and spring are longer.

How much will it raise the car? .5", 3"? A little height raise isn't too bad, but a large one would suck.

Yeah, it will raise the front a bit and it will look like you got bricks in the trunk.

That doesn't help me much... I need some kind of rough measurement as to how much height difference we are talking. With coilovers, I can dial a bit of the height out, but i don't want to sacrafice a lot of suspension travel.
