Civic Coilovers on GD3?

I bumped an old thread but to no avail, no response.

I know the rears do not fit, but has anyone had any success mating a sleeve coilover on the fronts? I recall them being slightly different, but didn't get to look at the two back to back.

92-00 Civic sleeve on the GD3.

I don't think it would work but you never know. What is the diameter of the sleeve? I'm about to take my coilovers off, I can take some measurements if you'd like...not sure if that would really help you or not.

I think it will work, just took a look this morning when everything was apart. You might have to make it work but I'll leave that up to you...just know I'm not 100% sure if it will be a perfect fit...

I'm digging this up again, Going to try and do a little more research. I feel confident the fronts will work, but the rear springs on the civic/integra ground controls may need a shorter spring.

If anyone has a rear civic/integra spring, can you measure the OD of the point where the perch would sit?

Buy some used cheap ones. Craigslist or go crazy and spend like 20 on ebay. Now here's where it gets tricky. You're going to have to try and find out for yourself. It may be scary at first but you'll have an answer. You could find out something others may not know. Help the community grow instead leaching knowledge. I'm only kind of joking
