Im fairly sure my Civics an ED, Its an 89 anyway. Will Coilovers from an 98 EK fit into my Civic?


I did a quick search and cant find a simple answer.
This offers just too good to pass up for a set of Tien Coilovers.

While im at it, Anyone know of any drivers door electric window switches for a sedan?

With some mods yeah you can fit it - but the length is wrong and i wouldn't recommend it

How wrong are we talking? Too high/low? There adjustable, As you would know.

I believe the EK struts are too long to fit into the ED. Even though you can wind them down you will compromise the shocks ability to work

given your situation i find that EG and DC2R is compatible with the ED but there are a few things that are needed to make it work.

Rear
function 7 control arms/or stock DC2R LCA's eyelet is what i went for

front
DA knucke
DC2R front fork

And the reason for these parts is the dc2r is clearly a bigger diameter than the ED so i thought while im up'n the power i might as well upgrade the suspension also.

EK has fork rear - no need to worry about the eye lower mount

The strut doesn't mount to the knuckle, nor does the diameter of the fork change where the strut actually slots in...
