An Accord rear shock will not fit an EF because the span of the rear lower clevice mount is too narrow. The rear EF shock is short enough already that the car can be really much lower without having a length issue normally. The front is where the issue is and you have already addressed that with your front. I do hope you are are using a coil-over sleeve system or some way to make the two different spring perch shapes between the Accord and the EF or together reasonably.

I am using coil overs at 4 corners. I just have a thing for riding low so i was just wondering is there any rear struts that are alittle bit shorter than ef struts.
