    94-97 struts\springs fit a CB7?

    I am pretty sure they do but wanna be sure. I can pic up a set locally with some ebay coil overs for prolly $50. Mine are SHOT and this would go ahead and let me drop the sedan ( 92 model ) and worry about a better suspension later. Just wanna make sure the 94-97 struts will bolt up. thanks all!

        90-97 4cyl springs/shocks are the same.
        if you do end up getting those craptastic springs, atleast get better shocks. if you're getting oem cd5 shocks, youre going to hate the ride.

        do it once, and do it right. youre life literally rides on your suspension.

            I hear you all, lol. Ive ridden on ebay crappies before on stock struts...its better than the sail boat i ride on now and for $50 you cannot beat the price for a simple strut swap. I have some KSports I gotta clean and sell, hope these put me in the financial place I need to be to get something better. But again this is temporary and ride quality, with how low I go dissapears quickly no matter what I run anyway. Thanks again!

                I want a full adjustable setup, the Function Form setups are priced right and will give me what I need. Thats my immediate goal

                  are you concerned about the performance of your suspension at all? or are you just wanting to be as low as you can?

                    the type Is arent adjustable, but are a pretty decent ride. my bro has some on his Integra. its not a terrible ride, but it could be better. the type IIs allow for dampening adjustment, which is what i'd go for if you ahve the extra couple hundred.

                      Im 41, been slamming rides since 18, typically I go as low as I can without going through tires every three months. I dont auto cross or anything like that, something tight and that responds quickly with little bounce if any at all. I dont mind a bit too tight. I love the look of tucking some tire and thats my goal. Dont want to do air ride, thats what my truck is for. Being honest with myself, I saw little to no diff between blown stock Integra struts with ebay coil sleeves and a $900 Ksport setup that was fully adjustable. If anything I wasnt bottoming out on the struts but that was about it. The valve adjustment, did nothing noticable. I had a nice low stance with decent ride. Had meant to go to a stiffer spring in the rear but never got around to it. I know ill probably blow out some OEM struts pretty quickly but that is fine considering the cost ( $50 ). My struts right now are GONE....the car just about jumps lanes when crossing bidges on an interstate and its all factory, almost scary sometimes. This setup will fix that, give me better handling and cornering and lower the car. It will more than meet my needs and i should be able to get the Funtion Form setup here soon. Again, considering im not racing\auto cross and I dont drive overly crazy, this $50 setup will be more than functional. Im broke, 3 kids and amazingly lucky I got the Ksport setup for what I did. It will cost over $300 to buy top hats in order to use it on the cb7. I can buy the Form Function on ebay for $630 and it will be new, not 2 years old like the Ksports I have so it makes more sense to go that route. I dont really need the adjustable valveing so price wise its good. I think the Megan suspension setups are like $700 and have that function but I am not at all familiar with their quality.

                          Slam on your brakes with blown shocks and crap springs... feel your tires leave the ground, instead of stopping your car. THAT is the difference between a halfassed suspension setup and something quality (though I wouldn't really consider Ksport quality...)

                          I suggest getting some Ground Control coilovers and Koni shocks (STR.T if you don't want adjustable, or Sport if you do.) I would trust the quality of those parts over most full-body coilovers. Especially the inexpensive ones.

                            i know no one is goin to approve of this statement but...i have cut the springs on four of my cb's and had a set of kyb struts and eibach springs on my fifth one...and i can honestly say in my opinion the cut springs rode,handled,and were just all around better...not to mention free
