k pau (finished) with the front, the guy was nice enough to have it on shocks already and it still was only 50 bucks i'm gonna do the back tomorrow, the thing with eg front shocks on an ek is where you bolt on the brake lines, the ek you DO NOT need the bracket for the brake line, so make sure it is facing OUTWARDS because if it doesnt face out wards the bracket will scrape against everything lol, or better yet, just cut it off, also ek and eg rear shocks are both forked, they seem overall the same length, but some difference, so it still should bolt right in, heres some pics yo





did the back, everything is bolt in....found out myLCA is slightly bent....heres the finished product.....

 

Yes, they will fit.

 

thanks

 

what eibach? it came from the same engine as yours right? coz if not there will be a lil change in drop. post pic after you install it..

 

with the struts fit also?

 

front strut? yes.. rear? no because ek is fork type eg isn't.. unless you change it to an aftermarket LCA (lower control arm)

 

i believe its the sportlines, but i think it came from a d16z6 hatch, and i have a d16y8 so they're similar right?

 

not true.

all you have to do is unbolt the arm that bolts to the lca, connected to the strut.
and swap them.

easy fix.

so yes, the struts and springs are interchangeable for eg/ek.

i have done it. i know it works.

 

yeah they will, mine are from an ek, only bad thing is that theres a gap from the fork to the LCA in the rear.

 

how would you get rid of that gap

 

washers.

 

I've been running ek springs on my ej1 for 2 years with no problems.
