Default EG lowering springs on an ef, yes?

Just wanted to ask if I can used EG(92-95) civic springs on a 88-91 strut?


I have the 89-91 strut in my EG and wanna use my 92-95 EG Nuespeed springs, yes or no?

EF shocks are slightly shorter than EGs, so you will be more likely to bottom out. Ride height will be what it should be.

Ride height will differ if you have mismatched springs, but you have springs designed for your car, so you will be fine.

anyone got a reason why some 92-95 peeps put in 89-91 struts in the 92-95 cars?

ive never heard of any eg owner using ef shocks, but the ef shock is a bit shorter that would give more shock travel. just a bit.
