90-93 rear struts are longer than 94-01. i had dc struts on my da, and my back sagged.
it will work but you will be putting more stress on the shock causing it to blow prematurely.

im quite sure the back will be raised as long as the struts are good. also it'll be a little harder to install but nth imposible.

the fronts will fit. may need to use your dc forks. not a big deal, just 2 bolts that have to be taken off.
even though i was running eg front forks on da and now i got dc forks on...so i dont know. people always mention this but never actually had to do it myself.

K this is what I want to do.

1.take off the front struts/shocks/springs from my DA and put them on my DC

2.put the DC front shocks/struts/springs on my DA.

So what your sayig is if i want to put the DC ones on my DA, ill need DC forks. BUT, if I put the DA ones on the DC i wont need forks. Just a simple swap??

lol sorry man, im kinda confuised

Few people told me that if you use DC struts on DA you will need DA forks and vice versa.

So that would mean DA fork stays on DA and DC fork stays on DC.

I compared DC/DA/EG forks they all looked the same and they all worked.
