same frontal design as the EG/DC so i dont see why not - the upper control arm joins the side instead of top but apart from that its the same.
Id try it as its a 30 min job to find out ( plus a trip to the alignment shop)
DC5 have a macpherson setup and EK,dc,eg have a double wish bone setup..
can someone confirm..
Correct
The eg/ek dont use a macpherson strut, the dc5 do, eks/egs are double wishbone. They cant be both.
A macpherson strut suspension system isnt to do with the shock/spring unit, its the type of suspension system where there is a lower a arm, and the strut top acts as the top pivot point of the steering knuckle, allowing you to adjust the camber from the top of the struts.
eg/ek/dc2 are double wishbone or double A arms.
skyline are wishbone as well.
generally have to get adjustable camber arms to adjust camber.
dc5/fd2/ep3... are mcpherson. wrx, lancers, silvias, my mirage are mcpherson too.
basically where the strut top directly connects to the hub knuckle assy by only the spring and shock unit (aka strut assy).
for these car you would just get pillowball camber tops for the front.

I tried swapping the arms over....When its on the jack stands looks like i get less castor :S...so i just changed it back...
Have you seen the whiteline castor kits?? Only a few washers and bolt/nut...
As for camber...just it on its ass....but this prevents you to change camber settings. One side might have more/less camber.
when you swap the arms over - it should change your dynamic castor. The more you turn the more effect it has.
The whiteline castor kit for most EK's is a offset bush for the rear of the front lower control arms.
For the EG/DC with 2 piece control arms there is the kit with a longer bolt and a few washers...works well but i again question the reliability.

do you mean dynamic castor or dynamic camber?
afarik castor is fixed.
increased positive castor increases dyanmic camber.
more you turn the more negative camber is generated.
