I got some tien basic dampers off a wrecked eg coup but when i went to put the front on they dont fit into the wishbone part...

So im guessing i need the wishbone parts off of a different year civic but not sure which :?

any help on this would be greatly appreciated thanks!

yeah i have no idea whats up with them i dont have that bracket on them either.

They were supposed to come off an eg coup and a del sol... and i was told the ek body style civics or some year of integras had the wishbones i needed and would interchange..... :?

well the wish bones are the same. on the bottom of the shock it should tell you what they go to. i have dc2 mono flex tein. on the wish bone mount did you remove the pinch bolt all of the way out?

yeah i took the screw out and measured the inner daimeter of the wish bone and the outer diameter of the shock and the shock is definately bigger and it says they fit a 92-95 civic
