How close is the DA/DC suspension I am pretty sure the rears are identical but not totally sure. What would I have to do to put DC suspension on my car? IE DC full coilover setup? My friend has some D2 coilovers on his DC and will give me a good deal on them what would all need to go down and be changed for them to work?

 

im pretty sure the rears bolt right up but for the fronts you will need the upper arms because they are a little different. unless you are looking to put itr stuff on then you need the itr/xsi lcas also

OK, you are WAY off.

The rears do bolt up, but the DC shock itself is about 1" shorter in the body; nice if you have the car lowered way down.

The fronts are the same length, but the width of the DC shock body is larger; DA= 1.50", DC/EG=1.65". You need the shock forks from a EG or DC for them to fit. There has been reports of the axle rubbing the front of the fork if your bushings are old and out of alignment. Grind the inner part of the shift fork where you see it rubbing if it does.

ALternative for front: EF shocks (88-91 Civic / CRX) same width, but 1" shorter; good for lowered car.

 

Ya that reply didnt sound right. What if I get new bushings will that be fine then? As far as the rear why is that good if the shock is 1 inch shorter wouldnt that make my car lower? Or would it just be better overall? Thanks for the good info.

 

Is the reason why you say the shorter rears are better is this just because they have more travel therefore wont bottom out much if you are low?

 

Yes. If you got your car dropped more then two inches it is good to have shortened shock bodies; you get more travel.

If you use just drop springs, then yes, the back will drop down lower than normal to the front. I use sleeve coilovers on my daily so I can adjust the height as needed.

 

If I do this it will be on d2 full coilover setup. Thanks for all the useful info.
