EK,EG suspension swapability?

[aZZ]

Ive heard of EG and EK parts being exchangeable, anyone know if the EK model strut braces fit the EG civic?????? or anyother honda car make (EG Integra DC2) strut braces (non OEM) that fit the EG series????

[Setanta]

Suspension definitely - EF/EG/EK are interchangable although the EF needs one of the EG arms on each side - I postid the info in the tech forum I think.

Cheers

I am running EK Tokico Illimunas 5-way Adj. on my EG.

EK-DC-EG strut tower bar are interchangeable

suspension are interchangeable for the front , the rear need ITR or integra or Jdm EG6/EG2 lower control arm and its all bolt on.

Front seats are interchangeable too between EG - EK - DC

As far as seats go not the same for EG Sedan, the rails bolts differently compared to the hatch

[EG5]

thanks for the correction , i forgot to mention hatch and sedan are different.

[Taxi-R]

can EK suspension fit on these? with mods to various parts??

[gd1_nz]

does anyone know if suspension from a Ek hatch will bolt on a EK sedan? thanks

[tRipitaka]

does anyone know if suspension from a Ek hatch will bolt on a EK sedan? thanks

yes..

[55EXX]

so ek and eg seat are direct bolt on interchangable?

[kraiye]

^^^
similar to above... which eg seats fit the ek? is it the sedan or hatch?

[[ricer]]

suspension as in shocks isnt interchangeable... rear EK and rear dc/eg forks are different
the bolt hole on the EK is lower...

front is but EK doesnt have the brake line holder like the EG and DC have.

strut bars should be interchangeable

[Mugen_B16B]

dc2 vtir seats dont fit into ek, tried it and one hole is abit further

[Limbo]

dc & eg seats are the same. Ek seats have 1 hole different. I know some of the guys just running with 3 bolts (your life)

Suspension wise eg & dc are interchangable, EK fronts are the same but rear are different.

All Ek suspensions are the same hatch & sedan.

[55EXX]

dc seats hey... have to hunt some down

should i assume EJ8 and EK1 sussy should be interchangeable ?

[EGB18CT]

the rear will fit, u either have to shave a bit off the eg lca as the fork is a bit different, the lca on the ek is a tad longer so this bit is also different i believe, to make a bolt on fit there are some companies that make custom lca's, (i shaved my lca on the old setup but the heat stuffed the bushing when shaving) if desperate get some new rear lcas that are made for a ek to eg swap.

[rpm boy]

EG hatch seats wont fit onto EM1 ( EK civic coupe) bottem left bolt hole dosnt line up needs an extra 2 cm... but the eg seat in an ek is soooooo much better =)

[X3E]

I am running EK Tokico Illimunas 5-way Adj. on my EG.

How do you find these tokico? Good?

What springs are you using?

cheers, ivan:wave:

the bolt nearer to the centre of the car or the bolt next to the doors?

[philmak]

Whats need to it dc2 coilovers into an eg?

front straight fit and rear needs the control arms is it?

[vinnY]

coilovers for dc2/dc4 should be straight fit to your eg(as long as its not an eg6 as they have dc2r rear lca's stock)

dor dc2r coilovers to fit you'll need the rear lca's off a dc2r or eg6

all eg's(bar eg6) and dc2/4 use a fork style lca at the rear
while the eg6 and dc2r use eye-style joints

[philmak]

thanks vinnY :D

Whats the going rate on a second hand set of lcas from an eg6 or dc2r?

[jdm_kid]

around 150-200$

[d15z1SUX]

im using dc2 front seats and ek aftermarket springs

[MEN15S]

So I cant buy EK Hatch Coil overs and install into my EG hatch is that correct because I need to change the rear lower arms but the fronts will fit correct ?

[X3E]

only difference is the rear control arms attachment, eye style or fork type.
ivan

[vinnY]

fronts should bolt up
you can't switch lca's between ek's and eg's(ek's are longer than eg's) but you can modify the bushing to fit
i haven't checked the dimensions before but i suspected if you picked up a replacement bush for an ek you might be able to press it into the stock eg lca so you don't have to shave down the bush

eg6/itr are a different ballgame though being eyelet's instead of forks

[Ryan_Chandler]

im about to pick up eg king spring's super lows tomorrow morning and will be putting them on my ek hatch (using stock ek shocks). Am I going to have any trouble's?

[charliebrown]

Itll just sack like a mofo cos EK is heavier than EG. Equivalent to EK ultralows

[Ryan_Chandler]

f*** yeah

inb4 wheels scrubbing thread

[Ryan_Chandler]

thanks for informing me, was a little worried there would be a problem since eg is a fairly smaller vehicle but the only problems ive found in research is the eg / ek rear shocks dont co-opperate.

[senna]

Will be crap to drive - no shock travel.

[Ryan_Chandler]

inb4 wheels scrubbing thread
i might sound noobish but even with gaurds rolled will i still get scrub problems with eg king springs in the ek on a daily drive, or will scrubbing only occur with full load or hard cornering

[senna]

Depends on wheel and tyre combo, camber settings etc

[Ryan_Chandler]

15 x 7 with 195 x 55

[Ryan_Chandler]

15 x 7 with 195 x 55
rarely do i have a full car, sometimes 2 passengers but mostly one or none. I don't have enough points on my license to have to worry about hard cornering, this is just a basic daily. Aslong as i take speedbumps slow and swirve potholes my shocks should be ok right? and sorry about the thread highjacking.

[dc292177917]

thanks for bringing up a thread from nearly 10years ago.

[Ryan_Chandler]

thought id save making a thread that has probably been made in the past

[senna]

Might still get some scrubbing even with rolled guards but likely only on full lock

[senna]

thanks for bringing up a thread from nearly 10years ago.

Thanks for being a smart ass. This guy has obviously taken the time to do some searching unlike most noobs and you shoot him down.

[mocchi]

thought id save making a thread that has probably been made in the past

i agry. if relevant, bumping old thread is better than creating new thread.

[Ryan_Chandler]

I just picked up the eg super low king springs. Once i can borrow some jack stands i'll put them in and let you guys know how it turned out. Hopefully it all goes smoothly haha. Thanks for the help senna

[Ryan_Chandler]

actually dissapointed aye, i thought my fear was going to be too low and scrubbing. Turns out its practically same as the stock height it had before just alot better driving since the car is firmer. Really should've just got coilovers... Eg super lows in the ek left a 3 finger gap between tyre and arch

[senna]

Something is not right. It should be on its ass

Did you check the part numbers? Should be KHFL-58ASL and KHRL-59SL

If not these numbers then they aren't EG super lows...

oiiiiii lol enough

[senna]

Will it decimate all?

Perhaps after 20-25grand in said parts from Japun?

I get the moeny, AND I get the respect.

To some people that's more important

One of the things Edwin knows is...

[NeedVtec]

its not how you stand by your car, its how you race your car. you better learn that

[Cooker]

I thought EK front arms cant go into an EG because they are differant length so doesnt allow you as much camber then running the EG arm?

I don't care if it can physically fit, but can you run an EK Hatch arm in an EG Hatch and still run as much camber with adjustable top arms?

Ive tried it before and I couldn't.

[senna]

Which arm are you wanting to change? The lower?

[Cooker]

EK lower control arm on an EG. Yes it can fit but i needed more neg camber as the EK arm is shorter I think, hence made more positive camber.
Dunno, cant remember very well, it was like 3 years ago haha, but I couldnt run an EK arm and still retain as much camber as I could using an EG arm.

[senna]

Yeah thats right, camber is reduced because the bottom of the wheel is being pulled in.

The other problem with that is that you are not only reducing possible camber, but also reducing the front track which will reduce stability

[Ryan_Chandler]

Something is not right. It should be on its ass

Did you check the part numbers? Should be KHFL-58ASL and KHRL-59SL

If not these numbers then they aren't EG super lows...

correct code, dont know whats wrong. could it be incorrect shocks? I sound so noob please dont troll my lack of knowledge haha

[senna]

If everyone was an expert I wouldn't have a job, lol...

it sounds weird mate, those springs should and have slammed EKs in the past - maybe shocks are seized...

[Cooker]

Yeah thats right, camber is reduced because the bottom of the wheel is being pulled in.

The other problem with that is that you are not only reducing possible camber, but also reducing the front track which will reduce stability

Cool, yer thats what I remember. Thanks for confirming.

[Ryan_Chandler]

did a compression test and it still moves up and down nicely. Im just find ****ed... Time to invest in coilovers
