you'll be fine with/without a prop vavle or 1inch MC. Both are recommend though, not required.

i dont understand y everyone says they will bolt right up?

The trailing arm bushing is incorrect is it not?
On the eg's and dc's the mount goes like this "|"
where as on the ek's the mount is like this "--"

how does that bolt up?

1995 3DR SI

Looks like all Trailing Arm Bushing Shafts have their Bolt Holes pointing up/down.

However, you'll notice that the Brake Hose Bracket (which attaches to the inside of the TA) is included as part of the TA Assembly. Aside from the condition of your Donor TAs, you should have no problem using the TAs from the EG SI otherwise.

As far as the Prop Valve goes, you already have THE SAME PV as the SI (46210-S04-902)... The EK CX Hatch, EK DX Hatch, and EM SI Coupe all use this part...

Hope this helps!
