Question for 5 lug EK owners.
Have any of you had to replace struts after doing a 5 lug conversion? If so, did you just replace the fronts with ITR struts and the rears with EK struts? What would be a better option all around?
It is my understanding that rear ITR struts cannot be used on the EK when doing this conversion. Only the springs will swap over in the rear. If this is incorrect, somebody please let me know.
I am just a little confused as to what will need to be ordered if all of the struts need to be replaced with this setup.

On all four corners? I was under the impression that the front ITR struts would work, but not on the back. This is why I asked the question, because I was obviously misinformed.
Based on what I think you're saying, the EK struts are the best way to go for the front and back.

I dont see how?
If you compare them, the EK rear LCA's are Longer, by I think 2"
I have tried to install GSR rear LCA's about 3 years ago (when EK mods were Rare) And No way it would work, unless i had crazy Neagtive Camber.

Well...I never really looked at the camber. Those LCAs were used to move the car around the shop and all. So I guess I should have said that they were installed and pushed around..
