Default Prelude shocks on civic?

i know its stupid, but is there any way at all to custom my 93 prelude Koni yellows to fit on my EH?

I bought it brand new now im parting my prelude and no one wants to buy some koni yellows so i was thinking of putting it on my civic.

Has anyone tried this? I also have Eibach springs, would this fit too? I have a h22 in the EH if that matters .

Does the prelude have a front double wishbone and a rear trailing arm? also, does the rear shock on a lude take the fork type or the eyehole type?

well, it may not be designed for the car, but if you can rig it on, itd be cool. i dont have the helms for a prelude, so i dont know for sure. All i can tell you is have fun guessing and checking.

i hope i can make it fit . those shocks cost too much to just get rid of that easy.

i had stock prelude struts and i put them on the front of my ek just messing around and they worked fine. the only problem was you cant lower the car as much as you can with struts made for a civic because the prelude struts are taller.
I dont think the backs work.

Maybe it's interchangable because my buddy put his 92 Prelude seats in his EG (had to add 1 bracket).
