yes they will fit..you should not look foward to getting the ride height even,,it took me forever..and then on stock shocks it will probably be very bouncy..

downest in that pic it looks like the sleeve was upside down..?? i used to have those same dropzone coils and never had a problem..

Yeah that's up side down.... I had the 34.99 e-bay coilovers on my 88 Si for over a year and sold it with them still on there and it handed great had the tight hard feel I want in a crx and handled like a dream. all on stock shocks.

Lol no wonder those got fucked up in the pic man, their upside down!, whoever put them on is a dumbass, period. The ebay coil overs are alright, i have had two differen't cars with them and had no problem, i even took corners pretty often with them and still never had any problems with them, BUT them being bouncy IS CORRECT on stock shocks, lol.

Then again it looks like they might not be upside down now that i think about it with the perch on the sleve the way the spring is sitting on it unless someone took them off and installed them upside down i guess. Anyways just don't buy the 5$ coil overs on egay, they look like they made out of plastic, lol...no seriously.

hey i bought ebay coilovers, but i also bought tokikos alumina 5 way adjustable. and i put them tha same way as the pic. i havent had any problems, i think it doesnt matter the coils but the shocks u use, but that is just my opinion.

honestly jusy invest on some good shocks tokikoblues are good too, to install theres a secret ive learn, the front are hard but because people take them as a whole unit. take the two bolts off the forks. the bottom one and the one that hughs the shock. after taking all the 2 bolts from the brake lines, use some wd40 spray the fork and then bank it down it should come off after a few bangs( just the fork), then u can unbult the shock. its so easy and u dont have to fugk with any thing else. hope this helps
