It says 94-01 integra; but what sleeve does it have? Stock?tokico?koni? What diameter is the sleeve?
That should start you in the right direction

They'll fit, don't worry. 94-01 integra and 92-95 Civic are interchangeable.

There are the normal Ground Controls and special ones just for Koni shocks. The normal ones WILL fit Koni shocks, although it's a somewhat ugly looking setup. I've done it, they're on my car and I've ran them like that. You just put the sleeve on the lower spring perch and that's it, it works. Put a couple of the supplied O Rings on your shock body to keep the sleeve from wiggling and you're good to go. I believe the Koni specific sleeves are just a smaller inner diameter. If you have these and shocks that aren't Koni, put them up for trade, they go for more than the normal sleeves new.

To reiterate, the Koni specific ground control sleeves are machined special to fit on the Koni shock directly and look nice. The KYB/Tokico/etc compatible sleeves work if you just set them right on the lower spring perch.

That will illustrate what I'm trying to explain. People believing you need the "Koni" ground controls to fit Koni shocks bugs me.

You're good then. They'll fit on Konis just like they fit on your OEM shocks. Not pretty, but it works.

Probably not the best way to go about it, but I guess if it's working stick with it for now. Why'd you get GC's for an Integra though?
