so i know someone who is selling a kyb/ksport shock/spring setup off his eg hatch and i was wondering if it would work on my 91 accord sedan without and major modification.

what is with all these new people in wanting to buy suspension for other cars and putting on the cb?
the spring rate for the cb is different for the eg. the EG is a lighter car and will have your ride bouncy. your car weighs between 2900-3200lbs compared to the EG's 2200-2500lbs. DONT DO IT -

There's plenty of places you can get a good suspension setup for our cars for a decent price you just need to look around. If you're not going to do it right, don't do it at all.

What the hell does engine series and suspension have to do with one another?
A Civic may have swapped in an H22. Just because we can also use the H22 doesn't mean we can use the suspension components from the Civic.

so you are saying that even tho the ksport springs are stiffer the are not stiff enough for a cb.... right. its not like i'm trying to put stock EF suspension on there.Comment

its very simple. if you have a civic, you buy parts for a civic. if you have an accord, you buy parts for an accord. you dont buy volkswagen parts for your chevy truck, why would you buy civic parts for an accord.Comment

ITS NOT CIVIC SUSPENSION! is kyb shocks/struts with ksport springs. its fit for a civic, but that doesnt make it civic suspension. it may still be softer than if it were purpose for a cb but it's still going to be a higher spring rate than stock. and he wants 350 for all, which is a hell of alot better than the 200/corner or what ever it would be new. believe me just because im new to this forum doesnt mean im new to cars.Comment

So it's not Civic suspension, but it's suspension for a Civic?Originally posted by rallyimp05 View Post
Is it just me, or does that not make any sense at all?

Check the spring rates, see how much lower they are than the avg. Accord setup. My guess is the spring rates will be quite different, but you never know. Maybe its a super stiff setup?Comment

GUY you dont take bicycle tires and put them on your motorcycle so why take a aftermarket suspension designed for a civic and put them on a accord....Are you getting these analogies?-Will

Your comparison is not even close to accurate. A good place to start would be checking spring rates.Originally posted by Bullhorn7 View PostComment

Find out the springs rates. Run them if they are on par with the same accord part.
Civic springs fit on accords just fine. THe only difference is the drop, since civic springs are a lot shorter. A 1" drop on a civic would probably be 2"+ on an accord.
The shocks...that's more of a concern than the springs. I wouldn't run civic shocks at all.
