Default EG suspension In EF

Will suspension from an EG(92-95) fit in a EF(88-91) car?
i am interested in the OMNI POWER true coilovers and there is no application ffor ef's and there isn't supposed to be for a while.
Is it possible to put the EG suspension in with little-no mods?
Thanks
Matt

Default I have done something similar

Running DC2 JIC coilovers in my ED6.

You need the EG/DC front forks to make it work.

You may run into problems in the rear. I think the rear shocks
have less travel or are a taller physical package. You may find
yourself bottoming the rear shocks.

Lowering the car will cause you to run into more problems.

When I had my EG, I tried to put on my buddy's EF suspension, but I needed to use the EF front forks. I assume it would work, but I believe it will actually raise it.

Putting the ED/EF suspension on an EG will most definitely lower it.

I tried putting a stock EG strut with fork on my ED and it would have raised it... a LOT. I couldn't even get the strut in there because there wasn't enough room.

With adjustable ride height coilovers it could be done.

Not sure on the rears though.

I have EG Koni SP3s on my EF. Zero problems.

As has already been said, you'll have to trade out your forks.

It's the front shocks on the EG that are longer than the EF's. The diameter of the fork opening is larger too on the EG

jhpusa sells them, but omnipower doesn't make them? i contacted omnipower through their site, but they have not gotten back to me.

anyways, so the rears and fronts are BOTH longer than ef's? here comes a visit to the junkyard to actually see if they fit...if i do, i will take pics

EG front shocks & EG rears are a bit longer(about 1.5"-2") then EF ones, so you will bottom out the shocks.

If your broke then go ahead and use it but don't expect it to last or have the best ride feel.
