Default Need to know if 92-95 Civic Shock will fit 88 Civic SI

I got a set of Koni Illuminator coilover setup from a 95 Civic EX.

I need to know if they will fit fit a 88 Civic SI Hatchback.

Let me know asap.

Thanks for the help.

I'm pretty sure the rears will fit fine, but in order to get the fronts on, you will need the EG/DC damper forks. EF fork has a smaller opening, and it won't fit over the EG shock. The other thing is that your car may ride higher in the front since the EG/DC fork is larger...

I don't think the rears will work, either. If I recall correctly, the lower mount is like the ITR mount on the 88 Civic and CRX's.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that! I just double checked at Hondaautomotiveparts.com and he's right...

You'll have to change the front fork to the EG style on your CRX and get the 89-91 rear LCA's in order to make those coilovers work. Bolts right up though and should work fine though.
