Default What shocks are these I got? GCs? couple big pics

I recently bought some springs and shocks. It came with springs, shochs and forks, the whole thing. But I don't know what kind of shocks they are. The front ones say HONDA on them, but I still want to confirm what I have before I put it on the car...

Here are the pics:
IMAGESHACK SUCKS!!! PICS WILL BE UP IN A MINUTE!

Stock Honda shocks by Showa. You didnt show the rear lower attachments so I can't tell the car they are from.

yup those are stock EK shocks with GCs on them. The rear springs are 7" long, 2.5" ID and 250 lbs/in rate. The fronts are 8" long, 2.5" ID, and I can't see the last number so I can tell you the rate (multiply the last number on the spring by 5.7 to find out)

stock 99-2000 Civic 2dr Si. rear shocks.

http://www.slhondaparts.com/br...1-A41

not EG. EK.

rear
52610-s01-a410-m1

front
51601-s01-a720-m1
(the label is being covered by the GC sleeves)

i believe you might have rear LCA fitment issues, as i think EG and EK LCA are not the same bushing width. i forget which is wider.
