i have some skunk2 shocks and springs for a 92-95 civic and was wondering if it would fit on a 97' civic hatch? any advice? thanks

 

Yes! all 92-00 suspension is interchangable.

LOL not without some work........that is

 

what are the things that you would have to fix and do to make it fit?

 

some ways to go about depending on what skunks you have (sorry not familiar with them)

either change your '97 lca's to 92-95 civic rear lca's (you may have some camber/toe issues, but not exactly sure)

or

switch out the mounting lower tower on the skunks with 96-00 civic ones (this depends on if you have adjustable ones or not)


or you can just buy ones that are suppose to fit your car

also 92-95 civic and 94-00 integra (minus itr) shocks front and rear are completely interchangible with no other mods needed.

 

i bought the skunk2 sport shocks & skunk2 lowering springs from jhpusa.com for my 95 civic but i might buy my broinlaws 97 civic hatch..and sell my coupe..spent $430 on the suspension =s

 

bump. any tips? or advice? thanks

well you really dont have much options. other than what i posted above, you can see if jhp will give you the 96+ versions. bigger shops will tend to take an exchange over a refund any day. ofcoarse if these have not been used or anything like that.

or

you can sell the ones you just got to recoop as much as you can.

or

just keep your car, slap the stuff on, and enjoy...(92-95 civic's rule anyway)

or

see if your brotherinlaw will go down on the price, sell your skunks to then get the correct ones. &lt;&lt;this may work, you can always help him with something later on to say thanks for his price lowering skills

or put them on your car and up the selling price when you sell it

????? in the end it depends on how much you are willing to loose.

 

92-95 civic and 94-01 Tegs are the same...96-00 civic is the same. It can work, but you might have to do some parts exchanging including the lower control arms

 

oh alrite thanks

 

Ok, I have a eg and my bro have a ek and we try to swithc it before, and the answer is: 92-00 civic front shocks are interchangable. The different is the rear shocks, 95 rear shocks and go on to 97 civic with spacer, and the 97 civic rear shocks cannot go on to 95.

 

it will work just add washers in the rear. im using ek apex n1 in both my civics and all i did to make them fit was shave down the bushing on the lca
