Post eg shock install on ek

ive always known that the EG, EK and DC chassis have pretty much the same mounting points and suspension. so someone is trying to sell me a set of tein type flex coilovers for a great price but its for an EG.
I know they will fit on my EK but im not sure what kind of modification id have to make if any. has anyone here done this ? plz tell me what i have to do

You will have to use washers for the rears. If you did a search on this it would have a billion results.

Hi bro,

You have to change rear lower arm to EG model, then it will fit

NO! EG arms are longer than EK arms.

vice versa. but the answer is still no. that would change your camber curves..motion ratio..wheel rates..etc.

fronts will work, rears will need washers since the EK LCA is thinner than the EG-DC
