EG to EF coilover mod
Can someone explain to me how to run EG coilovers on my CRX? Raceland stopped producing the CRX coilovers and the closest is the EG. is it just a shock fork replacement?
Re: EG to EF coilover mod
The closest is the 4th Gen Civic, because it is the same. I think the DA integra is also closer. But, to be honest, I would not suggest Raceland coilovers. What is your budget? I am sure you can find something better for the money.
AS for the mod, which is the question being asked.
As long as they are full body coilovers, or even if they aren't, here is some advice.

Not sure what the "progress 2" coilovers are but if they're a full coilover kit like you say then what "KingVem^^ed6" said is what you need to do. If it's just coilover springs then you can put them on EF shocks and still use your EF forks. I have EG coilover springs on my EF shocks that way and I personally like the set up for the price I got them. The spring rate for a EG is alittle more stiff than EF's are. As far as tire tuck, it just all depends on how low your coilovers can go and what rim size you're ridding on.

Here is a post on what your trying to do. Maybe ask the OP for additional information.

Post summary: OP is happy with the product for the price. States they are stiff and noisy. Everyone else chimes in, says racelands are cheap and disagrees with OP except for the stiff noisy part.

For $200 you can get Progress CSIIs which have very good reviews and are available for our cars. That's just my biased self though. I guess it can be done. It isn't perfect. I would shop the used coilovers first. But if your heart is set on raceland, the EG will work. They just end up being higher.

Re: EG to EF coilover mod
use eg front forks. it will sit higher than if using ef suspension.
on side note. I used ef suspension and forks to "slam" my eg before so, for you, it might be the oppisite.

Re: EG to EF coilover mod
Yes go with Progress CSII kit. I road race with my 2300lbs 500whp turbo civic and it performs well. yes they make them for the EF.
But just for the record, the ONLY thing you need to change when going from EG to EF coilovers on EF is using EG front forks.

Re: EG to EF coilover mod
The main difference between the EF and EG fork is that the EG fork accepts a larger shock body.
EG also has a simple twist and the EF forks are straight.
You can bore out the hole in the EF fork and slip the EG shock in to make this work.
As far as I recall, the DA shock would be longer than the EF and would reduce your travel if set to the same ride height.
