yes it does, do a search. plenty of threads.

you need ek4 endlinks if you want to use the dc2 rear sway.

EK's did'nt come with a rear sway larger than 14mm.
Except the EK9 which is a rare and different beast.

For longevity, you'll need a subframe brace.

ASR subframe :thumbsup::thumbsup:

They also, supply a kit with the right bushes etc.

> you need ek4 endlinks if you want to use the dc2 rear sway

Is the dc2 same as dc2r?

i rem that the rear doesn't. Ricer tried it and it hit the exhaust.
The CTR one doesn't.

just asking why you'd wanna do this.

ITR rear 22mm == Whiteline rear 22mm with adjustable endlink holes.

Only issue is the sub-frame which Whiteline have recently upgraded to a new design.
Might be easier to talk to Whiteline about swapping for a new one.

i'm pretty sure front is fine, but back after my friend tried to put it on and it didn't fit we didn't bother with the ITR one again. THe exhaust hit the swaybar. He had an Ek1 hatch also.

ASR brace is a must for any ek with bigger than standard swaybars

for the front sway i think you need to change to itr lca's in order for it to work,
as for the rear, you would need a subframe brace, like the others have said. plus to make the itr rear sway fit, you need ek endlinks with the appropriate bushes (i.e ek9) as the itr bushes do not fit with ek bolts or get the ASR metal inserts which act like bushes to make the endlinks fit.
