no, i think.
your one doesn't have the holes for the standard swaybar on your lower control arms.
where the em1's do.
so you may have to get em1 lca's
i think.

yeah, you'd probably find that the end links have nothing to go to on the lca's.
so looks like you have to sell it.

It should still fit ur car.

Dont all EK's / EM1's LCA's have the holes for fitments ? the swaybar endlink bolt goes thru and a 14mm nut goes on the other side. At most , you would need EK4/em1 LCA's
AFAIK the Whitline kit fits all EK/s . The "kit" comes with extra nuts to "hold" the bolts where the EK4/EM1 has reinforcement.

so a ej8 has it as well?
he bought it 2nd hand, so maybe he didn't get all the parts?

From what ive seen all Ek's come with the pressed LCA's and the small hole for swaybar fittment
Its second hand so big chance it hasnt got the extra nuts. :thumbdwn:
PM me typicalmale if u need the extra bolts ( i got heaps)

which bolts are these?
your talking about the bolt that goes through the end link to the lca?

i mean nuts ~ which hold the 4 x bolts thru the subframe.
On a EM1 or EK4 there is welded nuts on the opposite side - but on any other EK's its flat so u need the nuts to hold.
