shaving bushing?

[89lude]

Hi, i have some ek coilovers from me old ek. And i know that some people grind down the bushings on the eg lca's to slim it down so the ek rear shock forks will go over it.

Just wondering if that is safe? Any dramas? Or is there an aftermarket lca that will allow me to run these?

I know i can buy the bottom part of the rear coils (eyelet type), but trying to avoid that atm.

length of the arm is completely different between eg and ek

anyone experienced this before? i need to know if anyone has experience with shaving the bushing down?

or has anyone tried running ek coils on aftermarket eg lower control arms like function 7's? and they fit

leo's run them on his toda eg
just shave down the bushings, it's just a solid metal tube afterall
it's not like it's gonna fall to bits

either that or you can try getting some ek lca bushings and press it into your stock arm, might fit

hmm did he have any issues with that? anyone gotten the ek bushing to fit before?

i'm sure if he had any issues, we'd know about it
he's not the sort to muck about
it's just a few mm of metal

i've gone the opposite way and used eg shocks on ek arms and i've had to add washers to space it out
been fine for the last year
