hey guys and girls

looking at buying some shockies and springs off a dc2 integra and im just wondering will they fit my 1997 honda civic ek?

[m3ntAL_l2]

front will. but the rear wont. ek rear lca is different to dc2 ones. need to swap the lca to dc2 aswell with modfications

[THE_BIFF]

tru wat if i buy them anyway and sell the back shockies and use the springs will that be ok or no

[dupac->]

im sure the dc2/r rear Lower Control arms are short than the EK.
Because the eg/dc2 subframe area is longer therefor making the lca's shorter.

so putting dc2r lca's on a EK would not work.

might as well invest in ek springs. imo. :)
it will save you from moding everthing else.

the pic are dc2r lcas which wont help u.... u just need the normal dc2/eg ones looks same as ek but has bigger bushes

check out the thread i had ages ago when i tried to fit ek to my dc2. it should be just the other wy around.

so will it be sweet if i just buy the rears take the springs off and put them on my shockies or just buy front ones

[dupac->]

i wouldnt reccommend it just for dc2r shocks and springs..

just go buy ek shocks and srpings

easier..

more safe less dangerous.

i wouldnt reccommend putting eg/dc lca's on your ek at all.

orh i forgot to mention they are king springs lol

[dupac->]

dude.. just wait for someone to sell EK lowered shocks/springs..

and they will go for around the same price $150-$200ish..

too much hassle with dc2 stuff..


or you can just use the springs without the shocks. much easier.

[THE_BIFF]

yer thats what i was saying earlier will it be easier if i buy them cause they wont sell sepretaly and just use front dc2 shocks and springs and then take the backs off and sell the shocks and just use the springs?

[dupac->]

yeah just use the springs. But keep in mind that the dc2 front springs were designed for a heavier engine. So dont be suprised if the front for your ek is higher when you put them on.

orh tru tru wat about accord king springs?

orh tru tru wat about accord king springs?
