Default Eg ek crossmember in rd1

Does anyone know if an eg or ek cross member will bolt up to an rd1?

Looking for a possible j series or k series option

EK almost resembles the crv. That is a big ALMOST. What you can do is get the kit for the EK because the mounts are almost identical. You can confirm this on any oem honda website.

This will be tough but since I can tell you that I was able to fit a DC2 subframe to an ek/ej than its a possibility that it can fit as well.

Should bolt up. Just unsure how everything else will align. lca's, swaybar, etc..etc...

Why not just get the ekk mounts and be done with? Why does a j swap require an eg subframe? Never heard of this.

Hasport:
This mount kit is designed to work with an EG/DC rear cross member, lower control arms and steering rack.
Also, on Innovative's site they list the J swap mounts as an EK kit but say "(EG subframe)" in the name.

Don't know the reason, I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to find.

So did you decide to part out your vtec swap and drop in a v6? Or are you still planning?

Yeah I guess something about the eg subframe helps it at a certain angle. I haven't read into too much on that.
