Default What Honda's will my ITR Shocks fit?

I've got an extra set of low mi revalved Koni Sport Yellows from my ITR FS and I believe they will also fit some Civics. Anyone know which ones? Thanks!

I think the only thing the rears will fit is a cr-x

iirc the fronts will fit 88-01 civics,integras, and cr-x

The fronts will "fit" the 94-01 Integra using the stock lower fork, fit the 88-95 Civic/CRX if you use the Integra lower fork. I believe that they'll also fit the 89-93 Integra and EK Civic's but you may need to use the stock lower fork and/or there may be differences in shock body length. The rears should fit the same selection of makes/years as long as you use the ITR rear lower arm. The exception is the 88 CRX which came with the ITR rear lower arm.

PS
I know someone who's in the market for CRX shocks who may be interested. Shoot me a link to your FS post?

Don't use 94-01 Integra shocks on the front of a 88-91 Civic/CRX or 90-93 Integra with 94-01 Integra forks unless you are close to stock ride height. The fork makes the shocks too long and suspension travel suffers.

The only folks who are going to be interested in OP's shocks outside of ITR owners are guys with 94-01 Integras and 92-95 Civics with ITR rear LCA's.

Point of clarification... I measured the EF fork vs. the DC fork and they're the same height. Different ID but same height. IIRC, the DA's had longer shock bodies front/rear than the EF/EG/DC... but I could be off base on that part.

I swear I thought I measured a length difference between the DC2 and EF front forks, but that has been about 10 years ago so maybe not. It is 100% correct though that the where the shock fits into the fork, there is a diameter difference between the two.

Still though, why spend the extra cash for DC2 front forks?

And are the Koni DC2 front shocks longer than the 88-91 EF versions?

Not sure on length differences above the spring perch... the only reason why I'm familiar with EF shocks on a DC is b/c the revalved Bilsteins I was running were off a CRX. To maintain DS legality, I measured the mount points for the front forks and fork mount to spring mount distances specifically to make sure the car wouldn't be "lowered" with them mounted up...

Since the OP is selling revalved shocks, maybe it's a good enough deal to make buying the DC forks worthwhile to some folks? Or maybe he's shoping they're 100% bolt-on which would open up the # of potential buyers?

Thanks guys, more complicated than I thought! I've been lurking here for 10 yrs and finally signed but it appears I need 5 posts to post a FS. Actually I want to post my 01 ITR FS which has been a DS autoxer the 10 yrs I've owned it so I have a ton of wheels, etc. The shocks on the car are revalved DA Koni's that won SCCA Nats twice, but I have the low mi single revalved Koni's and even the oem shocks that are like new.

Yes, I wanted to know about honda fitment to broaden the market.
