me and my 4th year mechanic friend of course :-)

oh, cool. some pics might be helpful

...we installed the (90) Integra Struts and lowering Springs. In order to use the Integra struts we needed to change the forks and upper mount (to the Accord ones) Sorry for the terminology. So I guess you could say is that we used the Integra shock absorber and lowering spring. But anyway it worked ...

So these would be a go then?

"Koni Sport Adjustable Shocks - 90-93 Integra ...It will have a considerable valve rate increase in compression and rebound to provide the highest level of handling possible. Certain vehicle applications will also feature a special height adjustment feature that allows the user to give additional height increase or height reduction desired."

TOKICO - Illumina 5 way adjustable shocks... use a specially calibrated orifice bypass system which allows simultaneous adjustment of both compression and rebound.

I am no mechanic, However from what I do know and what we did on my car we found this out:
The bottom bracket on the rear shock absorbers is wider then the Accord ones so we filled the gap with washers.

As well the Integra rear shock absorbers are shorter then the stock Accord ones and the Integra front shock absorbers are longer then the stock Accord's.

We also used the lowering springs from the Integra. This caused a little bit of and issue because now I have like a 2.5" drop in the rear and a 1" drop in the front.

Unfortunately I am not sure if the difference in drop is from the shock length or the spring length.

If the issue is with the spring length I see no reason why you wouldn't be able to use thoes struts.

Please if I am technically incorrect or if something doesn't sound right feel free to correct me or get me to double check!

here is the thing a lot of people dont realize. Using different springs or different springs with higher or lower spring rates, changing the ratio of the spring rates to the front to back and the shock stiffness, you actually change the weight distribution.

Higher spring rate Spring tends to make the car heavier on whatever side it is installed. I have seen AWD cars eliminate understeer completely by using 1000lbs spring rate coils in the rear while using 600lb in the front.

So even tho u accomplished it with some nick and nack, i wanna know how this car stands up on a road test with a 3g with a koni and a coilover set up. as in a shox and coil setup made exclusively for our car.
