Default WTF MATE? CUSCO Coilovers+ITR LCAs+EK HATCH=NO WORKY!

SO i have some tight Cusco coilovers, pretty damn nice setup, they are designed for an EG6 or an ITR, in fact they were pulled off of a JDM ITR my friend imported.

I have a 97 CX hatchback and want to use them on my car but my Rear LCAs don't work so i bought some ITR LCAs. I compared the LCAs and the ITR one's are like 3 inches shorter.

WHAT LCAs do I need for these to work on my hatch?
Also wondering if it's because i have rear drum not disc?

HELP ME OUT PEOPLE!

EK's will not accept the ball mounted rear shocks. They are all fork mount shocks. The fronts will fit no problem, but the rears will require the use of EK LCA's, as ITR LCA's are way too short.

but the ek lca is a fork mount, so he can't use it. i think your best bet (if possible, i don't know how the cusco is constructed) is to get a different lower mount on the coilover. on my buddy clubs the lower portion of the coilover (the mount) is actually removable, so it's just a matter of replacing that with the correct one.

thanks but i would also like some new LCAs, i don't know if you have seen the EK ones but they are so weak. I'm sure people have had this problem before, and some company has to make a control arm for this. anyone know if it's because i have rear drums?

weak? have you been able to break or bend them? if not, they're strong enough.

no, it is not because you have rear drums.
