Default Integra front coilover won't fit fork

I have a 1997 Integra GSR dc2 and I got some function form coilovers the other day. I was able to put the rears on with no issue, however, the fronts is another story. After removing the stock struts, I tried to put the coilover on the fork, but it wouldn't fit. It seems that the base of the coilover is thicker than the stock. I ordered the correct kit, just can't figure out why it won't work.

Pics would help...

Even if you bought them for 92-00 civic/del sol, the fronts should still fit in the fork.

I can't post pics yet. For some reason this website puts you on a trial period before you get access to post pics. If you have a Facebook, I can show you pics.

Did you have an old SN that got banned? Jimboslice sounds familiar.

Probably just need to open up the fork a little bit, unless it's a drastic size difference. What's your facebook with the pictures?
