The differences between EK9 and DC2R rear T-brackets. Also known as L-brackets or rear mount bracket.

EK9 part no: 50827-S04-N10 (http://a248.e.akamai.net/origin-cdn.volusion.com/tsreo.wqzzj/v/vspfiles/photos/50827-S04-N10-2.jpg)

DC2R part no: 50827-ST7-000

I had both brackets with me so thought I would do a quick write-up. The EK9 bracket (same as EK4) is approximately 30mm shorter between the two top bolt holes. The shorter length is due to the different subframe design and positioning of the rear engine mount.

Hopefully this will help some people in the future as this question seems to get asked a lot.

If you cant get a EK4/9 T Bracket you could also consider changing the subframe from a EG/DC to use the DC2 T Bracket.
