Default EG / EK suspension swap.

I searched, I swear. I'm sure this has been covered a million times, but I need to find out what kind of LCAs I need to bolt on to my EG to swap the rear coilovers from my EK. I'll just make spacers to swap the shocks from the EK to the EG. Any ideas?

I could very well be mistaken, but I believe that the LCA length is much different between the 2 chassis. The EK looks like the rear LCAs are much longer. Though, if the shock lengths aren't too different, as long as you can get the EK shock to mount to the EG LCA, it should be fine.

Function7 Arms can be used to install EK shocks in an EF/EG/DC - it is a custom ordered application that very few people know about. Lead time on the custom order is about 10 days, but can most definilty be done. Let me know if you need a set. PM or email me at project.zum@gmail.com for your price.

The fork on the bottom of the EK rear shocks is too skinny to fit the EG LCA bushing. The trick here would be to grind the metal off the EG bushings until the fork fits over it. Works perfectly witout damaging the bushings, and is very safe. Now you don't have to spend $200+ on corny aftermarket LCAs...

Make that a million and ONE...

Thanks for all the input. Grinding down the EG LCAs.
