Yea it looks like its for the "eg" so civics between 92-95. Retail price around a grand But the springs are pretty beat up so you wont be able to get full price but depending on how they clean up i say you can still get a pretty penny.

Nice find

DAM! i wish i could find a $1500 dollar TEIN suspension at pick n pull! lol. I'd say their worth a pretty penny also. a good $250-500 maybe more ****.

and i ran slammed on stock wheels for ever stock wheels are the best cause you can slam da hell outa it and still wont rub the fenders only scrape oil pan lol.

after inspecting them further i have noticed the fronts with no coil contact are still really stiff..which tells me they are still good...the rears with no coil contact i can compress quite easily...does this mean they are worn out, is there an adjustment i dont know about, or is that normal? these are rebuildable correct?

They have to have a Type-R rear LCA for them to fit (or 88 CRX) a Civic.
