Well we used my CRX rear shocks on a 95 Integra LS and the spring and shocks were identical, different part numbers but physically identical...for the front I can't confirm, from what I have heard the front shocks are thicker but I can only imagine the springs are similar...

The spring rates are different, the EG front springs are longer than the EFs and they just stright up will not work (correctly that is). I too have EG rear tokicos on my rex but when comparing the fronts you can plainly see the diffferences in size and suspension travel. Now if you are trying to use EG coilovers (sleeve kit only) on EF suspension then that will work. It wil l be a stiffer spring rate but I personally like it that way, that's why I have DC2 skunk2 coilovers on my '89 REX. I just had to buy the correct EF Tokico 5-way for the front.

The inner and outter diameter is the same, but it is a taller spring. You would have to cut it to make it fit, or if it was a really low spring type you may get it to work. It just may not drop it as much as you think.

Had to resurrect after my experience. Will they fit? Yes. . .

Will they look like crap? Yes. . .

I didn't heed the advice of the board and proceeded.

Pic #1 is with stock '89 CRX DX springs with 205/50/16 tires

Pic #2 is with '95 EG DX springs with 205/40/16 tires.

Yes, the tires are 1.6" shorter but its still a HUGE gap ~ 4.5" from top of tire to bottom of wheel well.

And, yes, new springs are on the way. . .
