in a nut shell - NO>

Well - both EG/EK/DC series parts are usually interchangeable with EACH OTHER...for example, i have a DC2 strut tower bar, DC2 tie bar on my EG5... all can be interchanged, with the exception with EG1/2 (crx)-i think teh dimensions are alittle different ?!?

So , in answer to ur question - u can use EK/EG/DC series tiebars, swaybars, strut braces with each other. BUT not on EF or below.

There is still lots of custom bits u can find...altho prob second hand...

4G is an Aussie ED :P

JDM spec is as EF and Euro spec is an EE - just to confuse things.

I tried a locally made EG front strut brace on my EF9 Civic and the towers fitted - the bar was the right distance too. The only problem was that the B16A intake manifold sits high in the enginebay and it wouldn't clear the throttle damper pot. For a D15B it shouldn't be a problem. All I can think is that the EF8/9 strut towers are similar to an EG, unlike the ED - but they look pretty close.
