Does anyone know if any Bilsteins will fit our cars? According to their website, they don’t specifically make any Bilsteins that fit our cars, but they do make them for various generations of Civics and the 3rd gen Integra. Anyone know if any of these be adapted somehow to work for us?
I’ve tried EF (89-91 civics) bilstein shocks sold to me by loc and the DA springs wouldnt fit the shock perch. This has been my experience and i don’t know what other bilstein model would fit the best.
Anyone else?
Does anyone else have any more insights as to if any Bilsteins can be made to work? Thanks again!

Would they not fit because of how big around the springs are? If so, would coilovers possibly fit?
Um, Ground Control lists an application for Bilstein shocks for 90-93 tegs…

Yeah it’s the perch that was giving us a problem with the bilsteins. I do belive you can make them work with coilovers such as ground controls.

Yeah i know. It’s just that when i ordered from loc he said there weren’t any for DAs just EFs. So we tried to make that work with regular lowering springs and they wouldn’t fit DA springs, just EF. I dunno if ground control is advertising the EF shocks for the DA application. If bilsteins work like koni (the perch thing) then it should work with coilovers.
If you want it, you can use 3g integra front drop forks or 92 and up civic drop forks for up front on your car to fit the shock. But you will have to use thier springs. And for the rear of the car use a 3g integ spring or 92 and up civic spring if you want to use a 3g integra bilstein shock.
