ok ive been looking hard for some real coilovers for my car, i found a set of fresh ksport kontrols for an eg/dc2 chassis for a killer price, they will be going on a 1990 civic sedan.. ive been told the rears are the same, but i will need to swap out my front lcas and forks.. does anyone have any idea if i can make them work.. i have alot of parts lying about to make this happen.. thanks!

 

it'll work, and yes you'll need the front forks from a eg/dc. the part of the fork that the shock goes into, the hole for the eg/dc is bigger then the ef's.

 

great.. what about the lca.. i think its wider on the bottom of the fork, and are the rears realy the same?

 

it might be a little bit off, but that as much as the front.

 

i have put eg shocks on my crx before. all i did was swap out the forks and that was it. did not need to change any lca for it. hope this helps

 

cool.. good to hear it.. so front and rear will work? and all i should need to do is forks up front?

 

Yup.

 

sweeeeeeeeet! well im off to fianally give my car the stance it deserves

edit.. will a rear camber kit for a dc2 work as well?

 

...why not just go with the tried and effective koni/gc combo? Rather than piece-mailing suspension that isn't as good?

 

yeah! Koni/GC combo!

 

Maybe he can get the dc2/eg setup for cheap.

 

what do you mean? Any full coilover beats a sleeve setup, even if its GC/koni setup. You get to keep the full shock travel and drop the car as low as you want. Now if these coils are used and dont work then hes screwed, but other than that full coilovers anyday of the week.

 

No no it does not beat "sleeves". Konis probly have the best dampers out there for the money. A koni damper with the right spring rate will destroy any of the china/tiwan full coil overs any day...as well as last longer. The full setups are great for the money and they look really pretty but there is a reason a real full coil over setup cost 3x as much as the ksports ect.
