I have EG struts on my 90 Ef. I just used the EG forks and it fit just fine. The KYBs will handle the coilover, just keep the drop within reason.

Mine where about 1/2-1 inch to long too but the EG forks are shorter, so they fit fine.

Re: Eg struts into an EF (M15)
if you rocking a 55 size tire these will work. thats a mighty beefy sidewall. i also have swapped some tokico blues in my si. they were bigger than the oe crx struts. i didnt wanna use them becuase the damping characterictics change when you lower the car on eg struts. you have to drop 3-4" past what you would do on stock/aftermarket crx struts. and this my friend is alright kissing the bump stop
