Default 88 Civic rear strut confusion

I'm trying to figure out what my best solution for rear struts on my 88 Civic STD hatch would be. I know the fronts are the same as the 89-91's, but the rear has the oddball style struts. I was planning on using KYB AGX's but that's out for the rear at least, so does anyone have any advise as to a good set of rear struts I should use?
Thanks

AGX's for the 90-93 integra will fit.

In the rear? Are you sure, for an 88 Civic?

Oops, didnt see the 88'. You should be able to use the teg shocks, with the 90-91 Civic lower control arms. Then you would need to use either the same year trailing arms, or that would be a great time to do the rear disc conversion off the integra.

Did any of that make sense?

Someone else may be able to clarify better.

Yea it made perfect sense. Now I guess I gotta source a disc conversion with some later year LCAs.

Thanks again

or you could just find some stock type r struts for the rear.I had those with the rear LCA on my 93 DA and they worked great.Pretty stiff but not as stiff as some aftermarket ones.
