Click on 'Tech', then 'EF Hybrid Suspension'. He compares shocks from different models to the EF shocks.

i did, and they didnt compare it to any "EK" chasis.

the only thing i saw ws tht any 88-00 coilovers will work, but i think he is only refering to the cheap stuff with just the spring and perch.

i have tried before on buddy's ek... it works... but coilovers from an 89-up crx will work only, 88 have diff rear shocks... and. another thing i must say is the drop will be alot more... and obviously springs not made for the wieght... so bouncyness and more included!

so you have tried it and it works?

i have 91 crx coilovers so that shouldnt be a problem.

well the springs were made for my crx Si
crx= 21xx
97 hatch-23xx

200 lbs difference.

i just dotn want to take my suspension off and something doestn fit right.

I sold my old ksports to my friend who had a 97 ek hatch.. all he had to do is use the ef front forks and it bolted up just fine. The shock bodies are a lot shorter so you will prob have to raise up the suspension unless u want to ride on ur sac.

ok clearified

89-95 civic/crx will work on an EK only if you put 10mm spacers on the rears.

LCA wont work. Eks are longer

i think 94-01 integras are also compatible
