I got a set of these for free and I am curious if you guys think they will work. They are off of a acura integra, I am not quite sure which measurements to take to see if they are a possibility. I just don't want to try them and find out they don't work. Thank you!

Just a guess:



This is a coil over adaptor. The shock body needs a snap ring groove or a shoulder boss for the threded tube to sit on, or you can manufacture a dutch clamp for that.



Look in a circle track magazine for shocks designed for this style of spring mount.



The operating rod in the shock needs to be the style with a slight shoulder and a long set of threads.



A long nut and washer thread dowb the end to clamp the upper spring mount.



This could (in racing) be a female spherical rod end that works as the nut.



The spring appears to be short and would be stiff for street use. Measure the diameter of the wire and count off the full free turns of wire, to find the rate. 350 to 600 for sporty street fronts.



150 to 400 for sporty street rears. Thr race car has 650 fronts and 150 rears.



There seem to be some pieces missing.
