don't listen to anybody but me....lol.
I have EK Koni Yellows on my EG, and I know about 3 others running EK rear shocks/coilovers on their cars.
The shock length is the same, but the shock fork is not as wide as the EG.
You must grind down the metal bushing about 3/16th's of an inch on each side to allow the EK shock to slide over. SUper easy, takes about 10 minutes to do so.
Ek LCA;'s won't work...different length.

i have ek rear shocks in my EG too. you need to grind down the metal part inside the bushing (where the bolt goes thru), not the actual rubber bushing itself.
