        The valving might not be ideal, but yes, they will work.

            Yes, but that doesn't mean that the valving is correct. Most suspensions that fit the 4th generation were made with the 5th generation (and variants) in mind. They bolt right on, but it's not EXACTLY the same.

            Form and Function Autolife created their Type 2 coilover system for the CB with the help of stickydiljoe. They started with their CD Accord suspension, and found that some modification was necessary to make it truly useful for the CB. They actually shortened the shocks, I believe.

            "Just recently introduced into the CB market a little over a month ago, these are the newest line of coilovers for the 90-93 Accord chassis. These are NOT the same as the 94-97 applications as the shocks are shorter giving the 90-93 chassis the ultimate in ride height adjustability as well as 18-way adjustable dampening. This system is based off of my car personally as I over saw the development of these coilovers specifically for our chassis Accords."

              Uh...it doesn't mean its wrong, either.

              Are the Koni's valved wrong for the 90-93 Accords?

              Or are they valved wrong for the Acura 2.2 CL's?

                Right. Which is why I said it might not be idea, not that it isn't ideal.

                Most of the more expensive aftermarket parts are made for the newer cars. If they bolt right into the older models, then they can be used. However, it'd be foolish for a company such as Koni to waste resources designing a specific item for an older car. It doesn't mean that they didn't, but I would think it's unlikely. It's not exactly an item that is in extremely high demand.

                  Yeah, yeah...but it hasn't always been an older car. These could very well be the same part numbers AND valving from 1991, when the model was new.

                    That is very true. If there is any way to find out of Koni made these particular shocks in 1990-1993, then I would say they're most likely made for this specific car (and that the newer models may be the ones with the improper design)

                    Still, it's a possibility. The suspensions are interchangeable, but not 100% identical. That means that with a shared part number, something has been compromised somewhere... unless the differences have been eliminated by using whatever common design they have.



                    Of course, that means that the CL shocks are every bit as good as a CB7 shock from Koni... because they're the same thing. So going by that, yes... they'll work. They'll work as well as ones for the CB7, since the part number is the same (and I have them... right or not, I like them smooth when soft, go kart when stiff)
