I'm considering buying some used Tokico Blues (aka performance shock) for my 97 civic. They're off of a 94-01 Integra. I'm pretty sure the fronts will fit but I heard that the lower control arm on the rear is thinner than the Integra's so I'll need a washer to fill the gap. Does that sound right? Can you just put a washer in the gap without any future problems?

 

my friend bought some shocks for his ek from a 92+ civic/94+ integra and all he needed were some washers to fill the gap.

 

you won't even need the washers. i put tokico's from an integra in mine and the forks just bent in enough so that it sat flush with the lower control arm. theres not a big enough gap anyways

 

"blues" suck.. especially used.. they won't last you too long before they blow.. invest in better shocks i'd say.
