I was just looking at that the other day But yea, it's pretty complete. For the front and rear you will still use the stock LCA's. As far as the ebrake lines I think eg/dc lines still work fine on eks. Also you can use your stock brake line hoses too. That setup should work for you though. Just sell the parts you don't use or see if you can get a break on not buying them

Correct me if im wrong but im putting this on my ek. So ill need:

Front: knuckle/ hub assembly
calipers, rotors
upper control arms

Rear: trailing arm assembly
rear calipers, rotors.

I do have rear drums as of right now so ill need e brake cables. Will eg/dc cables work on my ek?

One inch master cyclinder and booster. 4040 4 wheel disk proportioning vavle?

Is there anything else i need or anything i dont need that i mentioned. I just want to make sure i got everything before i get home and notice i dont have something. Thanks...

Well it looks like it comes with everything in the bold. Just bolt it all on.

You CAN use EG/DC cables, but you have to make them fit. It's not hard, but not easy. I did it. But...I would have preferred to use 99-00 Si cables.

You dont NEED the master cylinder or the prop valve, but it's a very good idea.

Since this is from an ITR, you WILL NEED AN ALIGNMENT!!! I believe EK steering racks are wider or the EG/DC knuckles bolt the tie rods inboard more. You will have toe OUT like a motha.

toe out means that the tires will be pointing outwards. Think of it this way:

Imagine you're turning right.

The right wheel will be toed OUT

The left wheel will be toed IN

If you put on EG/DC spindles onto an EK chassis, both front tires will toe OUT. The car will go straight, but you will wear tires like freaking crazy.


Those wheels are super ugly.

I got mine for $350 with CTR wheels, and OEM ctr tires. I also got an Si cluster, a carbing cooling plate, CTR shift boot, ITR sedan rear seat....ah the list goes on and on...all for $350. I'm one lucky *** motherf#$ker.
