- Thu Jul 18, 2013 3:49 pm #334374 I just posted this in the 'Sol' section but thought it might be better here...

Hi guys, I got Skunk2 EF suspension from a buddy BNIB. Got the rears on fine but didn't realize the front shock diameter was different. After doing some research I've seen that people either say;
1) Use EF front forks, which I am hesitant about because they are different and I don't want rubbing issues (I have a B18B in '93 sol)
2) Use a piece of exhaust pipe with a slit in it as a shim.

I am thinking option 2 is better, but before I order new forks or go scouring the yard some opinions would be great. Especially if someone has personally encountered this problem. Thanks very much guys and gals!

- Thu Jul 18, 2013 4:36 pm #334375 you should be able to just get some EG forks for the fronts and away you go.

so it would be

EG ------ EF
front*
EG forks on EF struts
rear*
should just bolt into place

- Thu Jul 18, 2013 4:59 pm #334381 Thanks for that link, I can't see the pics for some reason but it says the Ef/Eg forks are basically the same so I'm not too worried about rubbing issues. Gunna call Honda for the dreaded dealer quote now lol

- Thu Jul 18, 2013 7:56 pm #334391 I'm running Ef forks on the front of my Eg Coupe. I didn't know when I got my Ksports that they were off a Integra Da. So I had to use some Ef forks I picked up from the junkyard. Eg were to wide to grip the collar mount.

You could also buy the buy the collars if Skunk2 makes replacements. I seen that Function and Form and some other companies make replacements. Hope that helps.
