Hello I just get a mugen showa suspension I have a civic dx 00 and i want to now if I buy a type r front lower control arm conversion if the mugen suspension folk going to fit on my control arm because now i got my dx oem folk on the mugen suspension. Thanks alot for your future answer

phunhaus

It will work with either arrangement. The cup size for both arms is the same.

moualu

Ok so the mugen and type r fork have the same size and will fit on type r front lca

phunhaus

There is no "Mugen fork" that I've ever seen.

Can you post a picture of what you're trying to do?

moualu

I buy a mugen showa suspension and it come the rear lca and front fork with it. Im not saying its mugen fork im not sure I dont want to buy front type r lca kit if its not good with my fork



My new suspension

I got a realy good look on this I find a mugen showa and it can be ajust in hight normaly its only the damper

phunhaus

It will work with your existing fork. The cup size is all the same.

If you switch to EK9 front lower arms you will need EK9/EM1 forks. If you are keeping you DX arms, use your DX forks.

moualu

i now this but I wanna now if my fork on the mugen suspension on the picture will fit on type r lca I dont now if is bigger than a oem type r fork

phunhaus

There are only two types of forks. The EK9/EM1 is the largest- there wouldn't be anything larger.

If you are worried, take a measurement of the inner distance between the fork legs and I'll compare it against mine tomorrow.

Are you attempting to buy EM1 front lower arms and want to see if those forks will work with the arms or are you going to use the DX arms? I am unclear about your intentions. Please explain more.

for the moment I got si lca with sway bar 22mm I will use si forks but I want buy a ek9 conversion lca with 26mm sway bar and im asking if the fork on my mugen suspension will fit but you answer me now I shure thanks alot guys

The Si and the CTR are the same LCA...just the sway bar is different.

OP is in Canada... His Si is our EX, our Si is his Si-R. If he has the 22mm front bar I can almost guarantee that he has the cast lower arms.

phunhaus

Exactly my thoughts as well.

Cobb2819

good call. I forgot the the DX arms wouldn't have the hole for the sway bar, so he would have needed to change out to mount the bar.

moualu

no they have a little difference between dx fork and si fork and the fork on my mugen suspension have a big difference. for get a sway bar on my dx I need a complete si front conversion( front lca,sway bar 22mm links kit) in canada we got **** car lol

moualu

and the ek9 lca is very bigger than the dx our si in canada for match the bigger fork

phunhaus

To put this to rest:

The inner distance on an EK9/EM1 shock fork is roughly 71mm. All other shock forks (including DC2 for you K swap guys) are roughly 50mm.

SiR and ek9 front components are the same as the US si.
Assuming the Showa stuff was for the ek9, I don't see why it wouldn't fit. Do it and figure it out.
