the front will drop in. the back will not. if you want to use ek suspension on an eg, you will need to change out the lower strut mounting bushing on the back lower control arm.

Front would, EK front shocks have no brakeline brackets though.

Rear won't. EG bushing is thicker. Do it like that guy told you.

the buushing replacement is cheap and painless. they are no more than 25 bucks and to take the arm out of the car is only 2 bolts each side. pressing them at a shop will cost a few dollars since it takes a whopping ten minutes tops.
