I was thinking of getting those before. I talked to QA1, and the only application at this time is for the 96-00 Civics. No plans of doing any other applications.

When I talked to them at PRI they said the only had them for the 96 and up civics. I wanted to get them for my 92 but they did not have any plans on making them for the 92.

the width on the bottom where it mounts to the LCAs are different. I believe you can switch out LCAs and make your adjustments with that. but the LCA I think on the 96-00 are longer and will throw it off.

I know the rear is different for sure. I believe the front are too, but Im not 100% what is different. It maybe the thickness of the bottom of the shock, which you can possibly fix by getting EK forks?

fronts are the same but the rears on the 92-95 are thinner where the strut mounts than the 96-00 so you would have to machine down the mount point on the 92-95 to fit the strut to the lca.

I heard that QA1 shock was actually much better then the strange and that the strange leaked and did not do that good of job of keeping the double adjustablity seperate.

the QA1 looked good actually. the only thing was that they are only available at certain distributors that I dont deal with. I'm sure some of you do. someone try them out and see whats up.
