ek shocks on dc2/4 teg

[vinnY]

okay i've done a bit of poking around and have come to the conclusion that only the eg6 and dc2r have eyelet lower control arms at the rear as standard

the dc2/4 and any eg(exclusing the eg6) has a fork style rear lca like the ek's

i just want some conformation on whether ek shocks(fork rears) will fit to a dc2/4 stock lca's

can anyone confirm this?

[akusuma]

it fits but need to shave the LCA bushings since EK fork is narrower than EG/DC

[vinnY]

shave? take an angle grinder to it?
iirc the centre is metal :eek:

[bennjamin]

yes SHAVE the middle of the bush ( since its metal) Not worth it. Just swap the actual springs off real DC/EG and fit it in.

[vinnY]

hey? mate needs new shocks because his shocks with 280,000+k's on them have seen better days
just wondering whether ek ones fill fit otherwise we'll have to fit dc2r rear lca's into the budget

[bennjamin]

ek ones will not fit. Fullstop.
Just tell your mate to get some second hand shocks quite cheaply


you CAN shave the bush down , as said but this is not worth the effort.

I picked up a replacement full OEM coilover system (factory shock/spring/fork/tophat) ready to plug and play for $88 one side. Plug n Play yo!

Dirt cheap. From wreckers. If you can get the whole system withot having to mess around with the top hat, spring compression, etc, then thats a better option.
