The fronts will work, if you use you top hats from your car, and i read that the rear shock wont fit over the control arm without modification, or the other way it will be too loose. I dont remember at the moment

The rear lower forks on the shock are more narrow on the EK.

You can use the EK rears, but you will need to grind/trim some metal away from the lower control arm bushing where the fork slides over it.

I am running EK Koni Yellows on my EG hatch and had to trim the rear LCA bushings, and they've been fine for over 4-5 years now this way.

Oh and the front shocks on an EK have no brake hose mounts, so you will need to use zip ties to secire the brake hoses to the shock bodies so that they don't rub against anything, namely the CV axles.

Did you happen to miss my post right above yours?

THE REARS WORK FINE WITH MINIMAL MODIFICATION TO THE REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS WHERE THE REAR SHOCK FORK SLIDES OVER THEM

I think he's talking to you. I wouldn't let him talk to you like that if I were you.

It's not the Trailing Arm bushing you have to trim but the Control Arm bushing

Well I feel sorry for the guy if he was talking to me.

1. I posted the most helpful info including exactly what the differences were, and how to fix them

2. I directly quoted Ej girl and asked her why she was posting "it won't work" when my own post above hers told exactly how it does work

3. If he was really posting that directed towards me then he's probably mildy to full-blown retarded seeing as how he's trying to tell me I missed my own fuucking post

4. Also he did in fact say "trailing arm bushing" after I had told him rear lower control arm busing, where the rear shock fork slides over it. I thought I made that pretty clear.
