It should fit perfectly in the rear. You'll need to use the 92-95 forks in the front to get it to work from what I hear. If will raise the front of the car up, but this shouldn't be an issue if you use coilovers.

well i know the rear with the disc brakes works cause i did a rear wheel disc swap on a 1990 si from a 94 delsol si. I didn't try to swap out the front though so i couldn't tell you i it works.
Later june

i have the forks from a JDM EG in the front.

since i was looking at the JDM EG suspension, the rear is a bushing.

since the JDM EG and the DC2 offer the same rear, im good to go.

thanks everyone.

for the rears you need the correct lca. it depends if you get jdm EG or usdm EG rear struts.

for the front you need the EG forks, because the EG struts are wider then the EF ones. i think this is where the upgrade takes place. wider struts mean better struts. some jdm aftermarket struts come wider then stock, for a better performance.

i thought you had vision coilovers? i'm i mistaken? wanna sell them?

Like someone before asked- what is better about the EG suspension? Just the wider struts? Does anything get messed up besides ride height? It seems like changing the ride height would mess up the geometry?

Supposing that I do put on EG parts- can I use things like the Competition Engineering control arms and the EG version of the Z10 crossmember?

Thanks
Ben
