Fronts straight fit. Rear i think you gotta shave the bush (lol) a few mm

You need to used washers for the rear, I think as there is a slight gap in the fork compared to EG/DC2 vtir suspension.

I would not recommend.

If it as a straight fit , why would EK and DC2/EG coilovers have their own seperate part numbers.

The overall diameter and depths of the rear LCA mounting bushes are different between EK/EM1 & EG/DC4. You will need to create spacers that can handle the load differences or get some function 7 rear LCA's and pm me for modified mounting bushes to suit EK/EM1 rear coilovers (as I'm running EK Tein Monoflex's in my EG with the modified bush/function 7 combo)

em/ek/ej use a smaller bush, so it wont be a direct fitment, u need roughly a 8mm or smaller spacer to fill the gap if ur planing on using eg/dc coilovers on a em/ek/ej

but if u plan on using the other way, ek coilovers on dc, u need to mod the bush so its smaller to fit it.

You dont need F7 parts, as oem is just fine, more so a bling factor, but if u can get modified bushes to fit them up, thats the easier route ;)

Fronts will fit on all the cars mentioned but rears wont fit.

On the other hand. If you have an ek or em1 and want to run dc2r/eg6 suspension, You could buy the Function 7 Lca that allows you to run that suspension. You cant use dc2r lca on your ek/em1 because it will put your suspension out of allignment.

I have found a caterpillar bush that is the right dimensions for the function 7 arms (internal diameter wise) and are the right width for ek suspension to fit onto the EG arms, tho I am abit reluctant to just give out the part number as it took a fair amout of time/money/trial & error to get the right one, but would be happy to source if people want them
