I know one person on HT is using an EK set of coilovers on his car with minimal mods to make it fit.
Would it be the same for the 92-95 civics?

Does anyone have the length of an 88-91 civic/crx front and rear shock/strut assembly?

 

im using struts and coilovers off a 94 civic ex on my 89 hf. everything fit perfectly. im pretty sure its all the same from 88-2000 civics.

 

ha yes me too i was wonderin if the 92-95 was ok to use on my 88 si

 

when i ordered coilovers for my 93 ex they said they would fit 88-00 civic's so im positive they will work

 

oh yeah, they'll work

 

yes but you will need EG front forks

 

I just wanna be clear when I say coilovers I mean full coilovers, not just sleeves.

That's awsome. Does anyone know the difference in length between the 92-95 and 88-91? Will we gain or lose travel by using the 92-95 stuff?

 

They will fit with Civic 92-95 or ITR drop forks. Although I must say my Koni's made my car a bit too high. Solution for front is to lower the shocks in the drop forks. Rear ones are worse, I'm thinking about custom upper mounts. Of course I can go low but on a lowest perch seat that means too soft. This is with Koni, maybe other brands with shortened shock bodies will work just fine.

 

Ground Control now makes upper shock mounts that give you 3/4" more shock travel. It physically mounts the shock a bit higher than the factory mount. I have a set in the front and they work great. They go for $75 a pair.

 

someone find out if the full coilovers work i like to use a tien flex system on my 91 std but they won,t make them but they have them for 92-95 civic

 

I always thought the 92+ coils were longer than those of the 88-91...

Something like just the fronts were taller?

Anyone know about that?

 

Yes, they are taller (Koni's at least). This is why a car is too high.

 

Thanks Radex.

 

yes they will fit,
the shocks are approximately 1/2 inch higher
and the forks might be a tiny bit longer

 

good god i asked this same question before and noone answered....wtf

i know now that eg+ oem or aftermarket shocks & struts WON'T fit on 88-91 because they are too long....
88-91 oem or aftermarket shocks & struts WILL fit on eg+....it will just make the car a little lower....
any coilovers (eg+) will fit 88-91 because they are ajustible....

feel free to proove me wrong

 

This is my exact plan! And I know someone else on here is using EK full coilovers on their EF.

 

i have Tein HAs made for EGs. 1. you will need eg,ek front forks. i also used the the 88 rear control arms. they are pretty tall compared to coilovers made for 88-91 civic/crx's. im about 5-6 threads away from the bottom thread, but to answer your question.. Yes they will fit. Hope that helps.

 

honda never put "drop forks" in it's suspensions.
although they did use damper forks...

 

they will fit because im running them right now,
what do i win.

 

So what exactly are you using?
Do you have any pics?
Do you find you have enough travel?

If you answer all these I'll send you a cookie
