Spacers which one do you recommend for...

Hi there...

I just acquired, Koni Yellow shocks and H&R Sport springs

from a 00 GSR...

my car is a 98 Civic Coupe which is right now waiting on to get onto the road...

so far I got the front shocks and springs

installed without a hitch..

but I remember reading from this board that there is a way to install the rear shocks from an integra into a 96-00 EK chassis using spacers...

now which spacers are we talking about, more like washers?

if its washers how many do I use?

but are there any other type of spacers that anyone here can recommend?

thanks for your help

The washers are used on the rear shocks so the lower mounts dont get pinched closer together, when putting the bolt threw it. EG and DC tegs use a slightly wider bushing than ek. So the washers are used to take up space, and the lower fork doesnt get squeezed closer together.

Get the washers from H-D or Rona.

alrighty....Instead of Home deport or Rona..

go gonna a little bit overkill since its on the way to work..

Off to Brafasco...going to get a higher grade bolt and washer

yet those who have done this, do you use a lot of washer or maybe very little, like two or three?
