I'm parting out a Australian DC5R and i am wondering if any of these parts are going to fit on a pre-facelift JDM ep3R. There are similar threads, and I've been through heaps, but none have confirmed these parts specifically.

Ferrodo ds2500 pads.

DBA front slotted rotors

Koni Shocks with Eibach Springs

I'm going to have to buy all of these new for the Ep3, and sell the dc5 parts. But i figured, what if they fit!

Im more focused on the shocks and springs.

The pads will fit, as will the rotors. However the shocks and springs won't without modification, at the rear the lower bush on the shock will be too wide to fit into the space in the EP3R rear trailing arm, so you'll need to grind it down a bit. At the front you need to either change over to DC5R tie rod ends on the EP3, or remove the koni shock insert from the DC5 lower strut housing and put it into the EP3R strut housing (cutting out the original shock etc.).
