Suspension Question

Okay, im changing out my koni yellow shocks which are the proper ones for an ED. The ones im putting in areTeins from a Type R Inegra. Now the front koni's are 1 1/2" in diameter and the Teins are 1 5/8". So, the teins won't slide into the fork that attaches to the control arm. Anybody know if i got an Integra fork if it would be a wee bit bigger?

The question is, will the fork fit into the lower control arm.

not sure how beefy the forks are on your car but you might be able to get your dad to take them into work and bore them out that 1/8"?

well brett the size for me is 1.642" (more or less 1-5/8") so 5th gen forks would suit your needs i think

just incase the bushings are different sizes the gap of the forks is 2.008" and the width of that bushing 1.985"

Thanks for the info Rick, im going to check into the fork gap size then decide if im going to get new ones. If the 5th gen don't work they will get bored by my Dad, that was going to be the last resort type of thing.
