Would the front shocks from an EF (89 Si) fit a 94 Integra?
why? because they are konis and im getting them for free.

 

nobody knows?

 

I don't think so... but it is worth a try if you can get it for free.

I would just take off a wheel and put them next to each other, to see if they look like they would fit.

 

They will fit if you use Front drop forks from an 89-91 Civic or 90-93 Integra. The shocks for the EF will be slightly thinner than the EG/DC shocks, so you will need the drop forks to have a thinner opening. Everything else bolts up, even the rear.

Oh yeah, the shock will be slightly shorter I think, so your Integra will be about an inch lower than it would be with it's stock shocks. People who use EF shocks in their DAs are always really low.

 

In the rear I have type r Konis. Any cons from using the EF forks in the front? Will that screw my suspension geometry at all?

 

You mean shocks developed for the ITR in the rear? If so, you'd had to go with ITR LCA's aswell, wont fit.

 

Yes in the rear i have ITR shocks with ITR LCA's. Im just wondering about the front. If i use the EF forks will that mess up my suspension geometry in any way?

 

It might change the height since the front and back will be slightly different. I know on G2IC there are people with DAs running all EF shocks with integra springs, and they tend to be lower than people running EG/DC shocks or DA shocks.

I know if someone uses EG/DC shocks on a DA, it is supposed to give them more travel, so using the EF shock may end up giving you less travel, and when combined with your ITR rears, you may not end up with a perfect suspension. It costs about $50 each for the front forks (brand new), but if you can find some for cheap, you might want to try it out.

 

Well since the shock is shorter does that mean it might be better on a lowered car, since normal shocks get compressed, thus leading to accelerated wear. Just thinking since poeple get those Ground Controll shock tower hates that let the shocks come up like a inch or so.

 

My understanding is that the DA shocks are thinner and slightly longer than EG/DC shocks, therefore, the EG/DC shocks have more travel and are slightly better for lowering purposes. I am not sure how long the EF shocks are in comparison to the others, if they are shorter, they probably do provide better travel. Though, in combination with ITR shocks, you will have more travel in the front and the car might be significantly lower.

 

Well I ask because my front shocks are shot, from being lowered (~2") ontop of normal wear and tear. So if the EF shocks are shorter and less prone to being compressed under normal riding conditions, then they might be a good investment.

 

I also have ground controls so that will take care of the height difference from front to back. Im not sure when ill put them in but when i do ill take pictures and write a small DIY.
