NO it cannot be done.
Both LCA are different design , different length too.

EK = EK

DC2R = DC2R.

Dont swap them just to fit some DC2R coilovers to your EK...

Sorry this is a bit off topic, but I didn't wanna make another thread

If I were to install dc2r lca's into my dc2, would i still be able to run my stock shocks and springs ? or would i have to change them to the dc2r ones ?

DC2R Rear LCA requires ball joint type shocks/coilovers.

DC2 VTiR requires Fork type shocks / Coilvers.

So in other words no, you cannot use your stock dc2 sussy with dc2r LCA.

dc2r and normal dc2 rear lca are different in the way the shocks mount to the lca
so you would have to run dc2r shocks with dc2r lcas

u can swap the fork type cup on your rear coilover to the ball joint type cup.

contact the manufacturer of your coilovers and ask them if they sell the cups.

Change the DC2R LCA to an EG Fork Suspension Type LCA
You then need to machine/grind/file the middle bushing to suit the EK shock forks.

I run EK9 suspensions on my EG.

You can run DC2R / EG6 suspension on EK by only using function 7 rear lower control arm .
