Default front suspention fork

Hey which front suspention fork is bigger than a delsol that could possibly be on my 95 civic hatch? could it be gsr or some integra? my delsol shocks are too small for the fork so what could I possibly have?

Your shock is supposed to be fully seated resting on that ring.

Sorry, I misread your question. I think the 94-01 Integra shock forks are slightly bigger than the others.

No, they aren't. They're exactly the same as '92-95 Civic and '93-97 del Sol forks.

You're POSITIVE that those are del Sol shocks, and that the forks on your Civic are original? Also, did you try removing the pinch bolt and spreading the fork by twisting a large screwdriver in the split while forcing the shock down into the fork? Sometimes they need persuasion.

Okay it must be the DA shock bodies that are slightly smaller then.

I had to spread mine slightly where the pinch bolt mounts, as Targa mentions, when I installed Koni's.

Correct - '90-93 Integra and '88-91 Civic use the smaller diameter shocks and mounting forks. '94+ Integra, '92+ Civic, and all del Sols use the larger diameter shocks and forks.
