integra/civic front shock forks on a 4th gen?

Post by rrobis » Tue May 02, 2017 1:05 pm

hi,
so i've read that chaps used to put teggy front shock forks on prelude to get front slightly lower.
does this applies to Integra only or any civic EG/EK front fork will do?

in theory integra is based on civic and shares lots of components..

Been there done that?
Really it sounds like more pita than the result, just wanted to know if my assumptions were true

Its a couple of mm max really. Not a massive pita but a bit of work.

why not worth ?
you´ll get about 5-7 mm drop for around 10 bucks on the front
Takes about 5 min to modify them, you only have to sand off the fork about 2 mm to make them fit on on the prelude lca

i did it and im happy with it :)

Its not that much of a drop if you have them stood next to each other. Its from the centre of the shock locking bolt hole to the lca bolt hole, not the top of the shock fork
