Default Am I correct with this...

I am purchasing a full set of Tokico Blue struts on Friday for my car.

My question is this. The struts as of right now are on a ek hatch, and I plan on using them on my DA integra. It is my understanding that the rears will fit fine, but in order to make the front struts fit my DA, I will need to use the front forks from either a DC/EG/or EK. I called up a friend who has a spare set of forks, and is giving them to me, I just wanted to make sure it will work, before I go through all the trouble of ripping my suspension apart.

Any info is appreciated, thank you.

Never heard of that one before. Not sure. I do have a set of tokico blues from my ek in perfect shape, low low miles if you need more though

That is certainly true for an EF or a 2g CRX, that's the setup I have. Can't be 100% on the DA, haven't really done anything with one personally.

The EK rear LCAs are skinnier than the EF/EG/DA/DC rear LCAs. This means that the lower mount of the EK's rear shocks won't fit over the DA's bushings. I know that you can grind the ends of your bushings down so the shock will fit over them, but that is a little ghetto in my opinion. I have also heard that you can have EK bushings pressed into the DA LCAs, but I've never seen it done so I don't know if they really do fit or not...

Good luck.

PS: Your front end may ride higher with the EG/DC/EK front shock forks...
