Default will eg suspension fit on my ef hatch?

hey everyone, i did research on this but i see it the ohter way around with the fork and strut combo, i want to put my kyb agx struts on my ef. can i use the full eg strut and fork??? or so i have to get the ef fork to fit the eg strut??? im not looking to be slamed either. i got ground control coilovers and kyb agx adj struts. sooo can someone just tell me yes or no and if i can use the eg front forks and struts and put them on my ef front, i know the backs work bc i already have them on my car, i just wanted to know about the front and what i can and cant do befor i attemp this tomrrow. please help me out and i already read the suspension page, but its confusing so thats why im making a post about this. so please fellow honda tech member. help out a EF guy... thanks in advanced.

The shock and strut itself will work, but the fork and everything else has to be from an EF.

You won't get the drop you got from an EG IIRC.

well.. if you have 2 eyes and can read, the site TELLS you exactly what you can and cant use and gives reasons why... just because your too lazy to read the WHOLE thing dont mean you should get the easy answer....

EDIT: here, i feel nice.... "You can also use EG/DC shocks (EG shocks are exactly the same as DC shocks) if you feel so inclined. All you need to do is use EG/DC forks"
TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM THE SITE

thanks. its not that im lazy trust me, i love this ****, its just confusing i guess idk maybe not to u. but thanks for giving me that info. im just going to use the eg fork on the eg strut and call it a day, and if i sit a lil higher ill just lower the coilover down a lil , im not in that slammed stage anymore i just want a decent ride height, and i was confused if the eg fork will clear the axel on the ef? u think it will? bc they look the same shape?

well.. not to be a *****, but IF YOU LOONK ON THE SITE, it says that the forks are EXACTLY the same except for the outer diameter of the shock itself... so yes, it will most deff clear, because it puts it in the same spot...

Yes, the EG stuff fits on the EF! If you're going to do it you need EG front forks and Ground Control top hats. Here is why: EG shocks are roughly 1" longer than the EF shocks and the yoke portion is larger on the EG than the EF.

So you ask how I know this... I have and run EG stuff on my EF.
