Do shocks from an EG bolt onto an EK?

Thanks!

 

fronts do without a problem, the rears will have a lot of room between the EK LCA bushing and the fork of the shock. The EK LCA bushings are thinner than the EGs, so that explains the difference. I assume you can remedy this by pressing in a new EG bushing if you want, or doing some fancy washer tricks and hoping nothing breaks.

 

Thanks, that's what I had thought, but wasn't quite sure.

 

Personally I wouldn't use washers. That will put major stress on the bolt since the washers can slide back & forth on eachother as the bolt flexes. I would only use this as a temorary fix to get my car to the shop and have it fixed. Remember, that is one of the points where ALL of the vehicles wheight sits...

I definitely wouldn't. I was thinking of maybe measuring it up and seeing if I could machine something in the shop; but the more I think about it, the more I'm shying away from the whole idea.

 

i think tokico has spacers for this particular fitment.
