Hey guys I have an EK that has illuminas on it and i simply wanted to know who makes (if their even made) LCA's for an EK, that will make it so that i dont have to use the spacer things anymore...


Sorry in advance if this has been answered before but i couldnt find anything...

 

If you have the proper dampers for a '96-00 Civic, you shouldn't have to use spacers.

There are no lower control arms made in the proper length for a '96-00 Civic that have the pre-'96-spec damper mount bushing.

 

yeah i think tokico just uses spacers to fit the ek's smaller bushing. no big deal.

If that's the case, no big deal.

 

Yeah, my tokicos use the spacers

So there is no way i can eliminate using them?

 

why get rid of the spacers? are they casing a problem?
tokico uses the same shock for the EG/DC and the EK and simply uses spacers for the EKs narrower bushing. manufacturing trick to save them some overhead.

you can logically squeeze the mounting tabs at the bottom of the shock to fit the narrower bushing, but it may deform or weaken it and of course raise the back of the car a little.

 

NVM then, the only reason i was asking about them at all, is because im about to buy some LCA's and i didnt wanna regret buying them

But thanks alot guys, i appreciate it
