Default eg suspension on ef

I know I need to use eg forks but I have a question

If I use eg suspension on the ef with the front eg forks, the toe can still be set to factory spec correct? Im not going to slam my car just lower it about 2"

When you lower the car, the toe changes regardless of the suspension is eg or whatever.

You still need an alignment, there's plenty of toe adjustment available.

The eg forks and ef forks are the same exact fork except the eg is beefier. When I swapped mine out to eg coilovers on my 91 hatch I noticed that I can't go as low without preloading the crap out of the spring because they were made for a heavier car.

as far as forks go, there is no difference aside from the inner diameter where the shock body goes.

umm... as far as not being able to lower a coilover any further because blah blah blah... that's why you use the spanner wrenches.

Thanks guys was just making sure I can set it back to factory toe. Also I have GC coilover sleeves is there any way I can buy gc coilover springs with custom spring rates alone without the coilover sleeve?
