difference between ef9 and eg6

[gnx1987]

last two posts very informative. anyone here want to sell their eg6 or ef9. I've almost sold my current car and won't have anything to drive soon. and I'd rather civic. I drove an ef8 tonight and i think the back seats too small. and what does "Shares DC2R rear lca" mean?

It refers to the box type style lower control arm. Most civics require a fork style coilover to sit over the LCA. The DC2R one sits inside the LCA.

Box type (dc2r):

'normal' fork type at the bottom, dc2r up top to compare:

I had a much more comprehensive reply to everyone, but it got deleted after I accidentally clicked the wrong link.

so here is a toned down version.

EG has more aftermarket support. Handles better, Newer chassis,
Easier for conversions, obd1 i believe so hondata is plug and play.

more aftermarket support, based on what evidence?
Handles better, based on what evidence?
EF9 would be obd0

If yopu really want EF9 civic wait and keep saving you cash as you never know what you need to be replace when you buy it or buy Mint EF9 civic for top dollar

Anything over 10 years old will inevitably be unreliable. Things tend to go wrong when you least expect it.

giving the EF the true street cred it has as the ultimate old school "CULT CLASSIC. "

street cred? cult classic? Yeah mang, the EF9 is better because it's a cult classic. I swear you've got more loose wires up there than I have.

There are alot of EG's on the track and for good reason.
Its quite well known that there are alot more interchangeable parts and aftermarket parts for the EG.
Theyre so popular and you can do so much with them.
Either way im sure you will have fun with either car. Its just that the EG is less of a headache

There are more EG's on the track for good reason. What reason may that be?
A lot more interchangeable parts & more aftermarket parts? please provide the evidence to your conclusion.
What can you do to an EG chassis that you can't do to an EF?
I consider EG's to be more of a headache than an EF

I only work on ed/ef so need to learn

tighter cram everything in later model design.

Even if it's just one model difference.

earlier models are always easier to work on imo.
