Do 88-91 civic/crx springs fit on a 94-01 Integra?

I have run EG/DC springs on an EF but it sat too high. So by "theorectical logic" EF lowering springs should sit lower in a 94-01 integra? Right?

BTW I am running Koni Yellows (made for DC/EG)

Thanks in advance

I'm sorry but it boggles my mind why people do this.. why not just get springs made for your car?

Thanks for the help. :rolleyes:

Perhaps it is because I just pulled apart my CRX which is running eg/dc aftermarket lower control arms and Koni Yellow shocks from an eg/dc. With NEW Progress Springs (EF). STILL ASSEMBLED!!!

I have just purchased a 96 integra so I KNOW can reuse the Shocks & LCAs (still assembled) but unsure of the Progress springs. I also have a set of H&R race currently in the integra on stock shocks(5 years old)... So rather than make more work for myself by disassembling everything I can just bolt up the assembled units w/ the Progress springs.

Hopefully this explanation "unboggles" your mind with such a complex question!!?

88-91 shocks will not work on 92-95 smaller diameter
88-91 springs will not fit properly in a 92-95 shocks they are too narrow

92-95 shocks will not fit in 88-91
92-95 springs will work in 88-91 shocks with modification and will make the car sit higher in the front end.

thats what i learned trying it on my ef

I have ITR coilovers on my 4th gen. They fit fine, after a few subtle mods.

wrong. if you use the 92-95 shock forks, they will fit an ef. i know this because i personally had a set of 92-95 Ohlins shocks on my old zc ef. my boy also races with eg Teins on his ef. all you need are the proper forks.

This is correct. I completely agree.

Right now I am USING:

92-95 (eg) Koni Yellows in a CRX
92-95 (eg) Megan rear LCA's
92-95 (eg) front forks
88-91 (ef) Progress Springs

everything works fine.

What I am concerned about is using this suspension setup in a 94-01 (dc) integra. Specifically the Springs!

Everything else will bolt up.

Thanks for the replies!
