Default '97 CX supension in an Si?

Will '97 Civic CX struts and coil-overs bolt into an 90-91 Civic Si?

the fronts will bolt in as long as you use your '97 damper forks.
the rears will bolt right in.

Is a Damper fork the deal that actually looks like a fork and hold the bottom of the strut to the hub?

they will bolt in most likely...but your front end will be higher than you rear...the front suspension forks are longer than the older EF ones

Edit: you can get a coil or a sleeve-adj. coil like skunk2 and GC to fit on about any car/shock...

i have my GCs from my old accord on my 95 gsr

So my best bet is to use the Skunk2 Coil-overs I have in my EK use the rear shocks I have in my EK and buy a new set of front shocks for the EF. Thanks.

to the lower control arm, but yes.

not necessarily. the reason you'd have to use the EK damper forks, is because the 88-91 struts were skinnier than all 92-up civics. your fronts would work fine.

are you selling your suspension or buying an EF?
