Default Todays Noob question Gsr springs fit ef?

I looked over on kybs site and noticed the rear struts are identical on the 94-99 gsr as they are on our cars (91 civic for me)
I have a set of H&R springs for a gsr kicking around, can I use the fronts and backs on my civic?

Along time ago I compared a set of Eibach springs for a 94 gsr to the stock si hb springs. The gsr springs had a wider circumference than the si springs. Im sure that someone has made them work though. hth

The fronts won't fit on the stock shock. You will have to get shocks for a 92-up. Then you will be all set.

i have them on my rex,

they will fit, but you have to use shocks off a 92-95 civic, and you need the front shock forks.

All you should need is the shocks. They should mount to your forks. the only thing different on them is how they are designed where the spring perches, they are oh so close to the same.

i told you what i had to do

i got gsr integra springs, and the shocks came off of a 95 del sol, i had to use the 95 sol forks as well, as far as i know the delsol and eg hatch are the same.
