vigor suspension help - Acura Forum

Maybe you fellow vigor fans can help me. I cant find any shock/strut choices for my car. Is the 90-97 accord strut /shocks interchangeble with the vigor and if it is what modifications is needed for them to fit? Will the springs also interchange ?

eibach makes springs for the 95-98 2.5TL and i think springs for those car will fit your car. Be sure its from a 2.5 TL and not a 3.2 TL b/c those cars have a bigger engine which will need a stiffer spring. 2.5 is the same engine as the vigor. as far as shocks, the accord will fit the 2.5 so it might fit your vigor.

yes, suspension is interchangeable between the 90-97 accord and the vigor.

This shouldn't be a problem, but keep in mind the '94 Vigors have a slightly different suspension set-up from the '92 and '93 models. I don't think it will affect the interchangeability between the suspensions, but if you own a '94 it might be something to double-check.

Tell me more. Different... how?

AcuraVigorOwner · 03-26-07, 07:08 PM

The change was relatively minor, but for the '94 model year Acura tweaked the suspension here and there in an attempt to give the car a softer ride. However, to my knowledge they still used the same parts. That's the best I can tell you off the top of my head.

Thanks for the info. Does anyone recommend any particular brand of shock /struts ? And how about springs / coilovers?

I bought a full set of KYB's off EBAY for about $180 delivered, there was only one difference between the fKYB and factory struts. One of the bolts holding the break line are welded to on the opposite side of the plate. The difference in the rears is that they lower the rear end by about an inch. Not a big deal for either and I am very happy with the ride and stability. Wish I had realized though that I needed new bump stops, by the way the Accord stops work perfectly.
