I don't know if this has already been covered or not, I couldn't find anything (I suck at this forum's search function).

I'm basically trying to get my EK's rear suspension to stop squatting so bad on a launch at the dragstrip. I normally don't care about drag racing, but this weekend they are paying $500 to the winner, so it's worth a shot.

The deal is that I also have an '89 hatchback civic with koni yellows/GC's, and they have the fork type bottom on those shocks, instead of the eye type that came on the '88 models...would it be possible to swap just the rear to my EK? I know the suspensions are different in some way, but I'm not sure if it's just the front, just the rear, or if everything is different.

Thanks for any help.

you can put them on. the fork will be wider than the EK bushing, use a washer to space it out.
