No, they will not work. However, Function7 just released a new LCA that allows the use of ITR suspension on an EK chassis. PM me for details

if you had negative camber though, from being dropped, could you use the ITR rear LCAs to in essence pull it in as they are shorter?

Possibly, just as you would put DC front spindles on an EF to correct negative camber from lowering. I would still reccomend the above kit though, and buying an adjustable camber kit to get the suspension perfect.

It is indeed a fact becasue one of the guys at work has done the conversion and had great success with it. You need the complete DC front knuckles to do the conversion.

The DA and DC/EG front knuckles have different dimensions from an EF, and it WILL screw up your suspension geometry (the DA's are longer/taller, followed by the EG/DC). Sure, it may all fit but it isnt "just right".

You need the front knuckles from a 4-door EX sedan (i.e. the EF equipped with nissin front calipers) to make this an easy upgrade.

Glad you like them.

The fronts will work just fine with no special mods or anything. It'll all bolt up nicely.

We will release them when our prototypes pass our extended testing. Sorry we don't have an ETA right now.

We've gone back and forth between prototype -&gt; test -&gt; revise -&gt; retest for quite some time and we still aren't quite happy about their long-term perfomance yet.
