93 JDM EG8 VTI SHOCKS QUESTION

Hi guy I have a 93 jdm eg8 sedan. Want to order a set of shocks without the springs, but confused with all the different types. My rear shock is the one with the bushing to the bottom but some of the pics in the sales have a rear shock with the fork at the bottom. The front I know comes with out the fork because I can use back the stock fork which can be easily bolted up............... little confused as to which shock description to choose ........?

Has any one ever order shocks off ebay or amazon?

Yours sound like the integra type r style. Has someone switched out the rear lower control arms at any time? To my knowledge a 92-95 civic never came with the eye style rear shock from any country.

Not to my knowledge. I'm not sure.

All I see is integral 94-01 and the pics has the rear strut with the fork or is that the wrong one

Only the Type R has the eyelet at the bottom of the rear struts. Unless you're counting 88 CRXs and wagons.

Type R on top, Non-R on the bottom.
