As far as I'm aware, the only NON compatable damper fork is the 99-00 Si (wider spacing for stamped steel LCA). All other 96-00 models should be compatable with the EG forks...

Also, different part numbers from honda could also mean "same part different manufacturer". Makes it hard to tell sometimes...

wierd thing is the huge price difference (~$20)
