Hello,

I have a 1990 Civic DX, and a box of nearly new struts for all four corners for a 1992 Civic. Will these fit on my new ride?

Thanks!

 

Get the front forks from an EG and you are good to go.
They are shorter than the 1990 ones so I would suggest you use the 92~95 spring as well.

The whole package will give you about a 2.5" drop all around.

 

So i can take eg struts and springs and get a 2.5" drop all around and it be oem equipment? How will the ride be?

 

this is all wrong.

the forks are NOT shorter.

same height.

and the EG front shocks are taller than EF, so you will lose shock travel.

its really not an ideal choice, but you CAN get away with it if you use the EG forks.

 

Never said the forks were shorter.
The diameter of the shock body is larger on the EG so it won't fit into the EF fork.


Your are 100% correct thought!
I totally got it backward - you will lift the car - not lower it.

EGs add EF components for a drop.

 

So, basically, it's not going to work? If it's going to be an exercise in fabrication, instead of just buying the correct stuff, i'll sell these, nearly new struts and springs for all four corners.

 

its a detrimental setup.

ive always said its best to just get the right parts for the car.

 

I have a set of eg coil over on my hatch and i have to have the front coil overs adjusted all the way down and the rear 7 full turns up just for the car to sit even and be lower. I used the eg forks they are the same length but they are beefyer then the ef's
