I assume you mean his CRX HF, they will fit if you get front drop forks from a DA/EF chassis car. However, the shock should be a little shorter and the spring rates will be made for a much lighter car - so you could end up with a very low car with a bouncy ride.

I think the kid has a 90 hatch I was interested in buying them for my EK but didn't kno if they would fit... but I think he's also sellin his shell so all he would need is the a arm off them for his dc?

The fronts would fit on an EK with a DA/EF front drop fork. But the rears will not bolt up, I think the rear shock has a narrower bracket then used on the DA/EF/DC.

I wouldn't use them, it would cost you an extra $20-50 for the front drop forks (used) and you would still be left with a very low car and an unpredictable ride because the shocks/spring rates weren't made to handle the weight of your car.
