I was wondering if anyone has tried this.
I want to get the KYB adjustable struts but they arent made for the 3gee.
I'm not worried about the brake line bolting up, just if it will fit in the front knuckle... is there a better alternative, like an integra or prelude?

I have the 89 SEi suspension/brakes/knuckles

Well I measured some struts. The closes match is the 90 Integra / Civic Sedan struts. They are almost identical, the only issue is that the lower spring seat is about 3/4" higher up so this would raise the vehicle. I will post some pics and measurements soon.
