Hey guys,

Im just looking to change the suspension on my ek1, just a little lower.
Looking at ek9 springs and shocks (heard theyre slightly sportier and makes the car sit a little lower), but i was wondering if dc2r sussy would fit the ek1 aswell? is it all interchangable? how hard is it to find and where would i be looking? would i have to change my rear LCAs aswell?
If its possible, then how much lower would it make the car would you say?

Thanks for that in advance.

DC/EK/EG springs are interchangeable

They have different spring rates so heights on the cars may vary.

Hope that helps :p

if you want lower ride height, for reasonable price , get what everyone gets that doesnt want to spend alot, king springs

yeh but my shocks are basically done for anyways...
so id have to get new shocks aswell..
i kno lowered springs reduce your shocks performance and life...
but would lowering by just 20mm reduce your stock shocks performance?

just get koni shocks they're amazing for the price you pay for them... if not look for a set of used coilovers which are in good condition might end up around the same price if you get springs :thumbsup: and if you are going to get springs just get the koni ground control

go to webbs autosport in dapto and get some air cylinders,
they will get your car 50mm off the ground, trust me i got them.
