I know for just springs they are different from chassis to chassis, try calling the company and see if they know.

the rears will fit but you will need the dc/eg front forks for the front struts...

big problem with getting many coilover is getting the shocks revalved..

If you get the Sustecs..good luck..

I believ Teins now can be revalved here in the states.,
H&R can be revalved (bilstien shocks) So cal
Ground controls on koni's or bilstiens canbe revlaved..
Something to keep in mind....

If you have an 88 CRX then you can use and ITR coilover set up...
springs may be stiffer..

The rear LCA's on a 88 CRX uses and eye bolt mount like that of the ITR..

the EG's and 89-91 EF's use a fork mount.....

I am not positive that the fronts are the same...but I am pretty sure..

the forks have a larger "cup" area where the bottom of the strut sits in on the EGs/DCs. EF forks will not work!

I have been running SRR race coilovers (shorter shock design and adj lower cup)for DC since this summer, yes you will need EG front forks, the front is the lowest that I can go without changing to any shorter springs, the rear is ok, I guess if you are getting anything thats not made for EF then make sure you get the ones that you can adj the lower cup otherwise the shocks will be too long for EF, here is couple pics.


this is what the car looks like with the lowest I can go in the front, again I am running 15" rims

So then my thinking is correct, I can use Integ Type R coilover setup on my 88 CRX without modification right?

ive heard about the front struts bein 1 inch taller than the crx ones ... if this is true.. that means that i have to lower the coilover collars way down to get an even ride.. ....... is this correct??
