only input i can give is my buddy put a da setup on his eg that was sitting(not driven) and the shock rods extended out incredibly farther than normal.

hope this helps somewhat.

one of my friends top bolts on the back strut stripped i had some extra da struts so we used those on the back of his car. worked fine. i know that the a arm piece on the front struts is too small in diameter to fit a dc or civic shock on it. so as far as i know it would work unless you switch those a arms. someone correct me if im wrong. you could also try posting this in the integra section

that is correct. my buddy used the da forks. so obviously this would have to work the opposite.

because its a winter beater and the 94 stuff is cheaper as a package deal.

also do anyone know why the front sits a good amount higher than the rear. is it because of the 94 integra front forks.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the only major difference is that the DC/EG shocks and struts are a bit longer than those on an EF or DA.
