Default Will EK or Integra Springs/Shocks work in an EG?

I tried searching but couldn't find a definite answer. Some said it will work other said it won't, while some said only the fronts work but not the rears...

So my question is, will 94+ Integra or EK springs/shocks front and rear work in an EG?

Thanks!

i have heard that integra rears will work but you will have to cut one coil off of the front...thats just what i heard. not real sure. why not just buy them for an eg?

did you have to cut the front one? i was gonna buy some used neuspeeds from someone to put on my eg but the springs came off an integra. they said to cut the front springs down by one coil and they would work fine. so idk...i just bought tein s.techs. lol

Its easier and cheaper finding EK and integra parts and I'd really like to get a GSR suspension if it will work.

When I bought my used '92 hatch, I was told he had put his EK struts in it for me. Besides that, I wouldn't know...

they will work and no you dont have to cut a coil. i ran itr springs in my eg and now run an ek type flex coil over setup. the only part that needed to be modified to run the ek on the eg was the rear control arm bushing that had to be shaved. other then that its just a bolt up job.

EK and Integra Springs/Shocks will work on EG's but EK rear shocks won't work because EK Rears are fork-type shocks.

Awesome guys, thanks for all the input. Looks like my best option would be to go with Integra stuff, since that requires no modification.
