Default Ej suspension going on Ef

I got some KYb's and Gc's from my cousin which came off his 94 coupe and i was wondering do i have to switch the forks and put 92-95 ones on to fit the suspension in my 91 civic hatchback or can i just slip them on.

Also this is going to be my first time putting on suspension can anybody give me some tips. Thanks...

you will need the forks from the 92-95 civic.

are the KYB and springs still assembled together? or are they in pieces? youd save yourself a lot of hassle if they come preassembled with the top hats. that way you dont have to take apart your old spring/shock assembly.

i would just get the forks... save you a lot of hassle taking your old suspension off. you wont need to deal with a spring compressor.

Yeah that's true i really don't want to mess with the spring compressor. I'm just gonna go to the local junkyard and get them. I can't wait to change the suspension i think it is going to be fun. When i found out i needed the forks i was bummed i was so pumped to do it. I thought everything was ready to go. Hehe
