    what other cars can i use cb7 shocks on?

    I have a set of brand new tokico blues for a 93 accord, but i dont need them so im trying to see what other applications these shocks have so i can sell them more easily. I know they fit the cd5 but i also heard that they also fit on preludes can anyone confirm this? and any other car they might fit in?

    thanks

          100 percent positive!!!! If you ever look around online you will also find that some acuras (CL and Vigor?) May also include BB4's and BB6's also fall into this category. I have done my research because I wanted to know too.

          Edit:
          Notice the motors for the most part are similar as well and this excludes the 6 cyl.

              Shocks will fit 1990-1997 Accords ONLY. I believe the fronts may fit on the Prelude, but not the rears. They will not fit on the BA Prelude. That car is completely unrelated to the CB chassis.

                OK well both of you seem pretty positive but one of you is wrong or lying up in this bitch. I'm kinda curious if the 98-02 suspension is compatible too so somebody come correct.

                  Visit the websites of all major shock manufacturers. 90-97 is one category. 98-02 is another. Not one of them has 90-02 listed as an option for shocks.

                  Something does fit on the BB Preludes, but I'm not 100% positive which. Front, I THINK. Either way, they're not valved properly for that car, so they shouldn't be on it even if they fit.

                  The BA Preludes are totally unrelated to the CB. They're much more similar to the CA.




                  Ultimately, just because it bolts up doesn't meat it necessarily works properly. Shock valving and matching to the spring rate is extremely important as well. Get the proper suspension components for the vehicle that they're going on.

                    Yeah that makes sense. I didn't ever think they were compatible but dude sounded pretty convincing and I don't know shit. U pretty much know what the hell ur talkin about most of the time so u prolly right.

                      When someone tells you something that you don't know one way or the other... look to confirm or disprove their statement. NEVER take anyone's word for granted (even mine... I'm no expert)

                        Don't just look at categories on shock manufacturer's sites, check the part numbers.

                        For example, two cars might have the same part number for the shock (same shock) but they will still be listed under their own respective make and model.
                        There are no black and white suspension answers!!!!!!!!!!!

                          I disagree.

                          The CB is known to have taken styling cues from the BA 3rd Gen Prelude

                          In the mechanical side the 2 do share the only platforms ever to have 4 wheel steer (mechanical).

                          The 4wheel steer mechanics may or may not be 100% swappable due to different length and/or width cars (not 100% sure and dont know if any one has) but seeing there are similiarities theres a good chance at least the gas shocks may be the same.

                              Of course styling cues were taken... that happens as a manufacturer's line evolves.
                              However, mechanically, the BA has very little in common.

                              The CB's 4ws system is most likely much closer to the BB's 4ws system. The BA really is a completely different animal. (the BA is the 3rd gen Prelude, correct?)
