Default Suspension

ok guys i need some help here.
i have an EJ8 and, of course it only has front disk brakes, but pretty soon will be swapping to rear disk brakes as well.
but i do need new suspension since im rolling on stock shocks and drop zone coilovers. the thing is, i was about to order the tokico illumina shocks and ground control coilovers, the question here is if i could use the same suspension setup on the rear disk brakes??

Yes, the springs/shocks do not change if you get rear disc brakes.

Your braking assembly has nothing to do with the suspension. The two systems are independant of eachother. BTW, if you do swap the entire trailing arm in, they are also the same, so nothing changes.

If you use Integra rear disc brakes, swap out the LCAs so that you use your stock ones. If you use 99-00 Si rear disc brakes, you can use those LCAs on your 96-00 Civic. Let me know if you have any other questions loco!

5 way adjustable tokico illumina R ftw

you can change it from 1 which is softest (driving smoothly), all the way to 5 which is stiffest (for handling)
