i was just looking at the rear shock of the S2000, and it *might* just be possible that the rear shock of the S2000 might fit Civics and Integras!

i dunno, but can anyone PLEASE take a measurement of the bushing width at the control arm? I'm pretty sure the top hat of the S2000 is even the same as the civics. Please help me, im dying to know for sure.

 

NOPE

 

can you explain?

 

NOPE i cant help you cuz my car is in the storage

 

It's not going to fit.

 

why not?

alright, im offering $10 to anyone who can give me measurements of the bottom shock bushing width and the distance from the hole to the top of the fork to check clearance, and the distance between the two studs on the top mount and the OD of middle tube of the top mount.

im very serious. i have paypal'ed $10 to other ppl who have provided me information. please provide pics.

 

im still serious. $10 to look under the car and take a few measurements.

 

I'll do it for $50.

 

10$ wouldn't be worth it...just keep s2000 parts on s2000's

 

why cant anyone offer advice? He's just asking a question. This just makes people not even want to ask questions.

 

The logistics just don't work out. Different mounting (the s2k is rear wheel drive) the weights between the two are different and on and on it goes. I can get you the measurments but you'll be wasting your $10

 

it wont be a waste if you can tell me what i want to know so i can be sure.

you dont have to take the $10 either if you dont think its worth it....

id offer you a beer we were dealing face to face...

 

Tyson,

can i ask what your plans are? are you just trying to put the s2000 suspension in a civic or integra and leave it at that?

 

Rear s2000 shocks fit in the rear of a CD5/CD6 Accord.

interesting. do accord ppl know that?

its not that i "plan" anything. i just want to know. and the knowledge is worth $10 to me... sigh.

 

If you can find out that the top hats and bottom mounts are the same in the Accord and Civic/Integ, you have your answer. Most of S2000 owners don't like S2000 parts grafted on to any other cars due to theft problems, hence the hostility. So many people have been jacked for seats, wheels, motors, etc.; it's disgusting.

were better off than type r owners my cousins R got stolen two weeks ago

 

The immobilizer helps protect the car from starting and being driven off, but that's about it. The top, seats, wheels.. actually everything else is still vulnerable.

 

hi. suspension. thanks.

 

Hi, you should be in the Accord forum checking. Thanks.

 

Slideways...ur way too good.
Going back to his point, u dont know how many posts i've seeen with "will s2000 ___ fit on ____". Wheels getting jacked, then seats, whole interiors...not a big fan of it.

But seriously, i could understand putting an itr suspension on a civic/crx. But why the hell would anyone ask about putting s2000 supension on a civic. Even if it were possible, they're two totally different chassis. I guess to each his own...

 

im after the remote reservoir that has high speed compression tuned separately that the rear of the s2000 shock has. i know some aftermarket suspensions get rid of them in their design, but some dont and even allow adjustment.

the chassis are completely different yes, but that doesnt make it unusable for the sake of the suspension being ineffective, IF IT FITS.

 

True, the rears have external reservoirs, but what are you going to do with the fronts? I say you go with Espelir S2000 springs and Koni's. Done.

 

honestly, this is really just academic to me. i have no plans. but... if i were to do hybrid suspensions, id just use 92-95 EG/DC shocks with forks on my CRX.

 

That would have been the easy way out, but you chose to be difficult. I'm not bashing your method or reasoning, just that there are easier ways of doing it. I do have a pair of rear S2000 shocks if you're THAT interested.

Someone was on to something with the spring rates/damper tuning, but it might even work in your favor theoretically. An S2000 will have stiffer rear springs than a Civic to carry that 49/51 weight ratio vs. a 55/45(guessing) of a Civic. Coilover setups that I've seen for the FF's have equal F/R spring rates, sometimes even stiffer in the rear. I had a '89 HF myself, and suspension really does that car well.

Do what you have to do, but people are more inclined to help if you have a problem or a project (with proof), rather than just "academics".
