gday lad

rescently bought a set of springs from a shop that had some clearance stock,
cross checked the model/code of the springs and it came back as EJ9 95 onwards-

now, from what i gather, EJ9 is a US variant of the EK hatches here in australia, so the suspension and chassis should be the same

picked up the springs and started to install them, front went in all good and dandy.
went to install the rears, i found something odd... spring was longer,diameter was a tad smaller and they sat oddly on the bottom perch of the shock.

so i pulled everything off and reverted back to stock.

so now i'm stuck with a set of springs that was initially for an EJ9 (EK for us australians) and they are different

springs are made by hotbits(german) and have a 40mm ride height drop

heres a few photos of the springs themselves.





side by side with kingspring low's for comparison


bottom of both springs, OEM and kingspring at the bottom tapers smaller to fit snuggly onto shock perch,and the hotbits coil is just the same size top to bottom
