The rear dampers will not fit the Integra LCA's.

the rear fork on the rear strut of the EK are narrow. if your have to use EK struts, you can grind the bushing in the LCA to fit it.

You would have to grind the bushings in your LCA's, and he would have to use washers and spacers to run DC coilovers.

But then when you trade back, you'll end up having to use washers in order to run your own DC coilovers again.

I think it's the other way around.

As for swapping shocks, it depends if they're aftermarket or stocks.

I'm using full coilovers from an EK.

No, it isn't. EG Civics and DC Integras use cast metal control arms, which are much thicker/wider than EK control arms which are stamped steel. Because the DC arms are thicker, the metal sleeve going through the bushing is wider.

You can use DC dampers on an EK, but you have to use washers as spacers because the damper fork is wider than the bushing in the EK LCA.

To run EK dampers on a DC, you have to grind the bushing sleeve down to make it fit.

Notice these photos of the dampers from PIC performance:

EK dampers, notice the spacers:

I don't need to look at pics. I've already tried it.
I tried putting my rear stock shocks onto the EK from which I traded suspension with.

The Integra rear shock forks were too short, and sat on the EKs LCA.
It needed to go down about .25-.5 inch more to line up with the bolt holes.
It had nothing to do with being thicker or thinner.
