front:
You will need the front eg6 forks.

rear:
I measured an ITR LCA against an ED/EF and found them to be exactly the same.

Well, I have an ED LCA, you can have them if you want. Just pay for postage .

wired ... the one i had ... the rears needed moding as itr one is a lil wider in where the shock goes

No idea...I'm using ITR LCAs with EF rear sussys.

nah man you didnt measure them - you only looked at them side by side.. and at a glance they're the same but they're actually NOT the same.

on closer inspection and ACTUAL measurement you'd have learned that the LCA's are about ~4mm shorter in length than the Type R's. everything else is almost identical except for the width of the LCA where the lower eye of the shock bolts to. the Type R LCA's are about ~2mm wider here also.

so they're almost the same - but they're NOT the same.

everyone be carefull with this !! I was sold EF/DA LCA's as Type-R/EG6LCA's.

that 4mm will put your camber out of whack - Not to mention the bush not fitting snug.

Get the right LCA to suit your sussy :)

Cheers, I'll recheck..cause I just bolted on EF rear shocks onto the ITR LCAs and I can tell you..there's no gap...But I'll recheck...

Considering that if 1 is shorter than the other, If I have an EF trying to run EG shocks, I would still want to run the EF LCAs to keep camber correct.

Likewise, If I have an EG running EF shocks, I'd use the EG/ITR LCAs and not the EF LCAs.

Does that reasoning make sense?

[Samo]

lol told u so

Wierd...Just rechecked and it fits perfectly. i couldn't even squeeze a 1mm washer in between.

Pretty sure its an ITR LCA..its even comes with the Sway bar nut...Oh well...
