not 100%. I think you will need to use the endlinks from EP3.

Ask Nepolian, he can explain it to u better.

Not sure about the tie rod ends but the lower bush on an EP3 coilover will be too narrow for the space in the lower control arm on a DC5. You will need to add a few washers or something.

When I put DC5R coilovers into a mates EP3R, we have to shave the bushings as it was too big.

Also the front Tie rod ends needed to be swapped over to DC5R ones.

So in a sense, if it were the opposite way, you would require washes to make it sit flush and change the tie rod ends to EP3R ones.
