Okay so I bought the omni power full coilovers installed the front with no problem, but when I got to the back this is what I ran into...

What should I do/ or have to do.

And is it fine to drive w/ the front installed and not the back?

 

pictures speak a thousand words.

but youre going to have to describe exactly what we're looking at and why.

only thing i can see is the inner sleeve of the bushing is offset. is that what you want to ask about?

your car is not going to fall apart if you.

 

the bushing is to wide and the fork wont fit over it.

 

ah, i didnt even notice the omni fork.

do you have a 92-95 civic or 96-00?

you might have gotten the wrong kit/part if your car is an EG. EK rear lca bushings are slimmer. what did the box say?

youre going to have to call omni or the place you bought the kit from to give you the right part.

 

in other words. it cant slip over the bushing b/c it is to wide.

 

A 92-95 civic

 

they boxed the wrong part.

 

God damnit. can a Ek lca fit on a eg? or can i cut the bushing

 

get the right part.

cut the bushing if you want to. why should you have to.

 

Cause I bought them off a guy. He thought they would fit.... but guess not...

 

But just because curiosity killed the cat. would a EK lca fit on a Eg?

 

different lengths. and totally different construction. not a good idea.

 

alright. thats what I figured. My best bet is so shave down the bushings.. cause I cant ex-change them.

 

I slept on this idea last night. Could the lca bushing from an EK civic replace the one in a EG? and if so what year is an EK?

 

I haven't heard of anybody trying that. I'm guessing that the outer sleeve of the EK bushing is going to be much narrower too. That would make it quite difficult to press the EK bushing to the correct depth (if it even fits). Lots of people shave the inner sleeve down, and I would defiently try that first. It's simple & a lot of people have done it. Just make sure to grind them nice & flat...
