Tein Mono Flex From Civic to BRZ?????? Derp

Sooooooo I have an Ek 98 Honda civic I wish to never drive again. I have Tein Mono flex on the civic which are the bees knees. I think the shocks between the Civic and BRZ are the same, minus top hats, bottom cups, and dampening of course.

I would like to purchase all the different pieces and essentially have them re-valved for the BRZ assuming its all the same. Any of you guy's have the ability to confirm? (Yes I am going to call them)

Here are the specs as follows.

BRZ
8/448
SA080-01150 9/504
SW090-01175

EM1
14/783
SA140-01150 8/448
SW080-01175

It'll cost you more to adapt them than to buy the proper monoflex...

yeah just sell the civic ones and buy proper BRZ ones, seems like a no brainer compared to hacking something together that might cost even more.

You know that we have mcpherson front suspension and the rear would just never fit there.....

Sell your suspension and buy one for the fr-s...

I'd rather sell them and buy something made specifically for this car.
