Its probably so they could use the wrong shocks on the car.

I believe (but am not positive) that the EG forks are wider (the shock opening), allowing the use of EG shocks.

I always thought the EG/EK guys wanted the EF forks.

If you are cheap and already have EG shocks...

Not all mods are done because they are the best performing modification to do. I don't know if there is any performance benefit to using shocks off of a different car. The only reason I would consider it would be if I had a car that there was no aftermarket support for, but that's me.
