87-93 Front Shock Compatibility Q

Hey guys,

91 LX front shocks are in poor shape.  Rebound and jounce strength is litterally nothing.

Id like to know if the front SN95 shocks will bolt into the 87-93 model cars.  

Id go out a buy 87-93 stuff, but this model is rare in Japan.  A lot easier to find good used and or new SN95 parts.  Many 94-UP models over here already.

Thanks in advance,

Adam  

Ive just read that the SN95s front will work, though roughly 1 inch longer.  But would still like confirmation from the pros on this.

In the end I may just scrap this wheeny little shock.  Many coil over makers here in Japan and im certain with a little fab work I can have a high quality front damper with the OEM spring in place.  

RH front shock was removed today.  Spare coilover damper was fitted loosely and all is a go.  Unfortunately though this damper is well to short to fit properly so going with a spare set of high end coilovers made in Holland, assembled in Japan.  Kei Office.  

Spare set is much longer and full cartridge is threaded so base mount will be fully height adjustable.  Will share some more photos of this set once fitted.

Other than all of this good news, Im a little worried about the springs to be used.  Front end of this car is fairly heavy.  Thinking a 10-12KG front spring may be best or even heavier.  Any techs from 5.0 mag want to chime in here?  Nearly 50 views and no reply's?  

Thanks,
Adam
