Default TOKICO ILLUMINA ADJUSTABLE Shocks/Struts

Ok well i jsut picked up Lowering Springs (Eibach Sportline) for my 95, four door integra. i have found used TOKICO ILLUMINA but they are off a 97 four door civic.

My issue is i'm not sure if the rear illumina's will fit. This is what i have found on google... it seems like the 92-95 civic shocks are interchangable with integras 94-01.

Yes but Tokico blues are basically a stock replacement slightly firmer but basically the same as OEM.

Not knocking the price or product offering Im just saying the illuminas are more of a performance oriented shock that works with lowered cars and the blues are more of a stock replacement. They should still work with a mild drop.

ok well, his price is right......i'm not too performance oriented this is a daily driver, and my car is 100% stock at the moment...

but jeff u are saying they should work with a mild drop, i have Eibach Sportline its say 1.7-2.3 drop is that a mild drop?

it is my understanding that the drop will be 1.7 when installed and then will settle between 1.7-2.3.

so will the Blue's be able to handel them?
