New EK Owner - Suspension Questions

[jko2]

Hi guys,

I just purchased an EK september 1998 build.

I have parts for a 5 stud ITR brake conversion - knuckles, hubs, disc, calipers, trailing arms, control arms.

But do I need new ITR struts as well?
And if i do, do dc2r struts fit a 98 EK civic?

I notice in a lot of the parts forsale, it always says fits DC2R, EG, and some times EK (usually with a ?).

Any advice would be great, as the stock suspension does need to go - would be happy with dc2r standard.

Thanks,

Jason

DC2R strut bar? yes they fit
DC2R strut, as in shocks? yes only the fronts.. rears will need ITR LCA

EDIT: yeah shocks ><
As above.. only fronts can fit

EG and DC suspension struts are not compatible with the EK. The front will fit but the rear strut fork where it attaches to the LCA is wider than the EK's I believe. DC2r and ek9 have different mounting for the struts, so you gotta change them for it to fit
Also spring length could be different as well.
