Default ek9 suspension on em1?

First, I searched, but there were no real hard answers.

Second, I saw alot of "your wasting your time" and id like to keep that out of this thread, this is purely will it fit, not "is it better?"

Third, I've tried the suspension forum, but the answers were not 100% confirmed, I'd like real experience if possible. This is honda-tech, everything has been done here.

So, moving on.

From what ive read, its a bolt on affair, but the rear LCAs need to be changed. Can anyone confirm this? And the front strut assembly is a bolt on?

thanks

yeah it will work, only difference is one is a hatch and one is a coup. everything should be bolt on, i dont see what would be different. i know the rear sway bar is bigger and its better shock/spring setup. anyway is it real ek9 parts or do you have like a shell sitting around or something

well...its the same chassis pretty much. Just missing a trunk. I dont see why it wouldnt all fit. You might need LCAs from the CTR...but that's about it. If you use your 99-00 si front LCAs (im assuming this is an Si??) then you need to use your 99-00 si strut forks for the front, as the Si has weird *** tubular steel LCAs with a unique fork and swaybar attachment.
