Default a little shock fork help?

ok heres the deal, im pretty sure i had da integra forks on my crx, then when i switched my susp. over to my civic and put my d2 coils on there i still had a big gap w/ them lowered all the way down. im pretty sure i used the forks from my crx and not the ones that were on the civic, and i know da ones are longer correct? except for taking them all off and comparing them does anyone know how to tell if they are from a da? i know theres dif. markings on them but i have no clue what they mean.

EF and DA forks are the same. should say HL or HR on them. EG/DC are VL or VR.

^YUP! I think DC/EG forks are a tiny bit shorter, but at the same time the outer diameter of the strut is a lot bigger than the EF/DA struts, so you need DC/EG struts for the forks.

Forks are the same length. Just bigger diameter.

yes the da ones are the same height they are just fatter and let you slide the axle right through instead of having to take the forks off when changing axles

NOT DA, but EG/DC.
