the strut fork is smaller in diameter on the 88-91.

The rears are the same.. Just use the 88-91 forks on the front and your good..

I will tell you that the front of the 92-95 will sit lower when using the 88-91 forks but its not too bad..

hey thanks for you help guys.

im not completly sure on which part I need though.


do i need # 12,13 the acutal fork off the EF civic or the Lowwer Arm #6,7

My '90 b16 hatch is totaled and i just bought a 94 hatch.

i really want to keep my KYB struts and Tein springs becuase they are practically new and I wouldnt get that much for them.

also, my springs are like 1.5" drop, how much lower will the EF parts make it?

and will integra control arms or forks work?


Much appreciated!

Opps.. Yep, 12/13 is all you need.. The rears are exactly the same and you can use the 88-91 LCA's if you want..

I already had the rear LCA from a 92-95 civic on my EF, they were the megan racing ones.

i belive the EG's are 1/16 inch longer than the EF LCA's, adding a little bit of camber.


well thanks for all the help guys hopefully no bolts break while im swapping suspension!
