The fronts will fit without a problem. The rear is where you run into a problem. The lower part of the EK strut is narrower than that of have the EG.
Basicaly what you can do is saw a part of the bushing off on the EG lower control arm. Thats what I did lol. Works fine. Then if you ever wanted to bolt some EG struts back on, just use some thick washers

here is what you do, take off your LCA, take your rear coilover strut and the LCA to the machine shop, have them mill the shock fork bushing down on the LCA so that the EK shock fork will fit on the LCA. We've done a few of those already on EGs with EK coilover
