are the rear shocks on this model different between ls's and gsr's and so on?
i was wondering because i just bought a used set and the front ones fit fine, but the back ones wont fit over the holes where the bolt slide through. is there anything i can do about this?

if the picture doesnt load the first time just refresh the page and it should load right

i believe they are only different between the type r and all the rest. but i may be wrong

 

how about between civics and integras? like all generation of civics? if it would be different would it be all 4 shocks or just like the fronts or backs?

 

anybody out there knows if the shocks i have are indeed for integras or not...and if they are how can i get them to fit properly...thx in advance

 

that pics looks like 96-00 civic koni yellows. the 92-95 and the integras have a wider fork.

those look like integra rear shocks. i had a set similar to those...tried to put em on before i realized I had ITR rear LCAs. take a picture of your rear LCAs and show us.

 

i compared the stock shocks and the koni's and there was a little difference in the width of that area...im pretty sure i dont have an ITR lca but ill take pictures and ill show you guys.

 

heres a pic of a eg/dc koni yellows.

itr konis are these.

hope you didnt get scammed. or at least the seller told you it was for a 96-00 civics.

wow one bad geeseer your pictures explained a lot. the ones in my pictures are differnt then the ones in yours...i think i have different rear shocks...=/ thx a lot man for all the help

my rear shocks are squarish while yours have like curves and stuff...damn

 

hehe no problem. i mean you can make them fit but you have shave the bushing off on your lca. not advisable but it will work.

Carlo

 

when you say not advisable what do you mean by that...like it well affect driving or something, im just wondering. thx again man

 

bump

 

this is wierd cuz i just talked to the person that sold me the shocks and he said that he was using integra control arms and these are for the integra model and that it fitted for him...so wat is up with that?

 

when you are using koni yellow with gc/koni sleeves are u suppose to use the metal support?
