Alright guys I know I have made a few post on some struts but I havent won any of the bids that I have made post about. My current question is are any of you running factory ITR struts and if so do you like them?

 

the front itr shocks are too tall for the 88-91 civic/crx if you are going to lower your car you will run out of travel

this is the same with eg fronts on a ef


if you don't lower your car you will like em

 

yeah i've got itr on the rear and it's got my back jacked up about 1 1/2 inches. it's stiffer but soon to be replaced w/ kyb's and eibachs. as posted before, i did'nt have room for the fronts.

 

Well what is travel exactly? is that the amount of space the shocks travel when you go over a bump?
sorry i'm not really knowledgeabel about suspension.

so if i used ef springs with ITR struts.. it would trun out to be a very comofterable/idlea ride?

 

i believe it's the amount of compression the strut allows before bottoming ? i think?

 

yes that is exactly what it is.

when you have longer than stock shocks (let's say ITR ones, for example) and lowering springs, you essential move the strut piston lower into the shock body. this can lead to your bottoming out more since you have reduced the amount of allowed shock travel.

does that make sense?

 

thats what i thought. the strut was also too big for my fork. circumfrence too big

 

Well then what struts should I use for the rear of a 88'dx? I am having hell finding struts to fit the rear. I dont know what to buy or where to buy them. i have checked with kyb and koni and koni is the only company that I have found any through. Any help would be nice.
