They will fit, but the metal bushing on the control arm would have to be shaved down in order to fit. I was able to grind it down to fit with the stock dc control arm.

Are the control arms themselves not swappable? Or is there a difference in alignment? Seems like a better, easier way than customizing.

ek controls are shorter then dc control arms


i think he means where the coilover goes over the control at the bottom is a little thicker on ek control then dc control arms

other way around. EK control arms are WAY longer than DC/EG control arms. and please don't tell me you're putting improper shocks on your ITR

yeah you would have to shave the bushing at the LCA, but if you have a hype R why not spend the money to get application specific parts. just my $.02

iv got a set of $1900 Tein Ra's, with 14k,12k springs rates on my ek right now, and i want them on my itr where i can put them to good use, and if all it means is switching out the lca's then thats what im goin to do, i need to get new lcas on the R anyway, i spun the heads off the bolts on the lcas where the shock goes through and need new lcas, so this is goin to work out perfect
