I cant remember if ITR rear lower control arms will fit an ek. I found a set of coilovers I wanna buy for my si but they are for an ITR. I was wondering if anyone had any insight.
Thanks
Austin

 

no matter what anybody tells you trust me on this one, THEY DO NOT FIT!!

Xeleventybillion. They're like 3" too short and you'll get something ridiculous like 8* positive camber.

&lt;--- Has personally tried to put them on an EM1, and boarded the failboat in the process.

The only way you can use those ITR coilovers is if you also buy the special Function7 rear lower control arms made specifically to run shocks with a lower eye-type mount on a '96-00 Civic.

 

I was told by Function7 (a year ago) that they weren't making those. Has that changed?

I've seen sets for sale on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...l1116

$300 is a lot more than I'd ever spend just for the purpose of running a particular set of coilovers though. With that much, you could choose something better that's actually made to fit the car.

 

Thanks fellas, i decided against it, I picked up a set of teins, ill just order some custom springs from swift or something to get the spring rates I am looking for.
Thanks

 

HMMMM...well, the only time I'd consider/suggest it to someone is for something really nice...like the Ohlins my buddy picked up for really cheap.

 

I'm not sure who you spoke to but we've made the Type-R style arms for the EK available for public sale in Dec 2006 (after almost 2 years in testing).

I'm pretty sure that was before December '06 actually. Probably like June-July of '06.
