You were better off getting 92-95 Civic forks.

BTW, how could you not find the forks? I see them all the time at the junkyard I go to.

I"m pretty sure that the teggy forks are bigger. I have tanabe sustec pros on my rex but they are off of an integra. My forks would not work because the diameter
of the integra shock were larger.

check this link scroll down to almost the bottom
here is a quote from it:
http://www.ef-honda.com/ben/EFhybridsus.php
The EF and DA forks are exactly the same and so are the EG and DC and all 4 of them have the same height (no matter what anyone tells you). EF/DA fork on left, EG/DC fork on right:

is that wrong?

That is 110% true.

So I would say that is correct info from the site but misleading.

Sure they can be the same height, but the diameter of where the shock goes in is different for sure.
