Yep. Done a search so far there are no topics covering that issue. So yea I'm flame-proof. Anyway, as topic says: Will Koni Yellows from 98-00 Civic fit on 94-01 Integra LS/GSR?

There was an old post of someone saying that the rear fork will be a little wider on the LCA, that is if you were to fit Integra shocks onto the Civic LCA and then run washers for fitment.

The front shocks are the same but the 96-00 car has a narrower lower and deeper clevice on the rear because the LCA has a shorter steel bushing in the rubber mount. You cannot install that shock on the rear of the Integra unless you were to grind your sleeve shorter or replace the entire rubber and steel bushing from the later car. Valving and spring perch are the same.

If this is true than why are the part #'s the same at Tokico...........do the after market shocks differ from company to company???

The rear LCA shock bushing on the EG is wider than on the EK.
So, what some companies do instead of making two different width lower forks, is just to include washers or spacers for the EK chassis.

Koni, Bilstein, KYB, and obviously OE Honda make different parts for the rear of the two cars based on proper fitment for the rear lower control arms. Tokico does not so they must provide some spacers or washers. They do this also for a Mustang front strut that changed in the mid-'80s when everyone else makes a different part.

Tokico uses the wider fork with the some kind of spacers. Since you have Konis that have the right fork for the '96-00 LCA, it is already too narrow for the '92-95 Civic/'94-01 Integra. You can put the wider on on the narrower arm if you have spacers and keep it tight so the bolt does not bend) but you can't put the narrower fork on the wider bushed arm.

So simply put, the front/rear springs WILL work. The front shocks WILL work also. But the rear shocks from a 00 civic WILL NOT fit the DC
