Default 01 GSR coilovers on a EK do i need to change the rear LCA?

I have a set of Tein Coilovers for sale.

they are for the 94-01 tegs and it also says they will fit 92-95 civics.

I have had a few people ask me if they will fit EK?

As far as i know the fronts will, but the rears u need to use the integra rear lower control arm.

Is this correct?

Thanks

i actually think that you don't need to. i think the fork of the rear shock assy goes around the lca like the civic. to the best of my knowledge, its only the ITR rear lca that has the "pivot" joint.

The ek lca is thinner than the eg/dc so they will fit but you should put some washers between the shock lower "U" mount and the lca to take up the slack.I have this same situation....works great.
