- Sun Nov 30, 2008 12:05 am #80942 Got offered a mega deal on some coilovers but they're on an EK9 at present. I know the fronts will definetaly fit but not 100% about the backs.

If i use fork fitment LCAs they will fit, wont they?

- Sun Nov 30, 2008 12:45 am #80954 As far as I'm aware no, but don't take my word for it lol

I'm sure I read on honda swap or similar that EK fronts fit but backs are a no-no I'd wait for a second opinion though...

- Mon Dec 01, 2008 6:10 pm #81299 Think ill just get them anyway, can always use the fronts and keep the topmounts if they dont fit...

- Mon Dec 01, 2008 6:56 pm #81306 I believe the EK forks a narrower, but you can just cut down the bushings and they will fit, probably not recommended though.

- Tue Dec 02, 2008 12:18 am #81389 The rears will not fit over a EG LCA. The fork for the rear on the EK is to thin. If you can, you can swap out the lower fork part for a EG piece and make it work. If you do that, let me know, Ill want your old EYE style LCAs.

- Tue Dec 02, 2008 12:41 am #81396 Hmm grinding the bushing down wouldn't be a problem as i need new bushings anyway... ill make them fit haha

- Tue Dec 02, 2008 10:32 am #81469 This topic has come up before. I can say this much about it. I personally took the coilover set up off my 2000 Civic Si, and put it onto my 92 hatch without modifying anything. No bending, grinding, popping, ookin, jookin, nothing, lol.

Yeah Derek, id prefer to keep my ITR arms but cant really turn this deal down!!! I dont think the bottom collar separates on these coilovers as i asked the guy who has them if i could do it that way ill wait and get them first then if i can swap the bottom part ill do that, if not ill just use my old fork style arms

- Tue Dec 02, 2008 5:06 pm #81516 Yeh I would definitely go for changing them to the ITR fittings if you can, I'm running after market LCA's so were thinner so I was able to but also had to modify the bushings to make them fit.

So guess there is only one way to find out
