i just got done putting a 2000 Type R 5Lug conversion on my 99 EK hatchback now i need to lower. so my question is... do i buy suspension peices for a type R or still for a EK

 

depends.. if they are brake suspension parts, then u buy for the Type R. but if they are coilovers/shocks.. u buy for the EK unless u switched the rear LCA to the ITR one.

 

Buy suspension parts for an EK. If you used CTR rear LCAs, then you need to buy struts for an ITR/CTR.

 

ek suspension parts w/ your ek lcas

 

if you did it the right way then you probably didnt use the itr one....so you should buy ek suspension parts not itr....unless you use the washer trick...

 

that was me posting up there...didnt realize my cousin was signed on..but yea either way your fine...

 

whoa.. i think almost everyone here that responded may be wrong in some way or another..

you have an EK, buy suspension for an EK.. ITRs have the "eye" mount on the bottom of the shock which needs ITR LCAs that fit ONLY on EGs and DCs. EKs cannot use that LCAs because the length of the LCA is different. you can buy EG or Non-R DC suspension but youll have to do the washer trick. so in the end.. 5 lug or not you need EK suspension, your only changing the trailing arm.

This is correct. It seems like half the people in this thread don't have a f*cking clue

So, you are suggesting that ITR/CTR shares the same rear struts? Good call.
