Hey guys,

I search this high and low on google and on here... other than the ''made out of gold'' function7's LCA's I couldn't find anything else.

I called my local dealer and the guy over the counter probably got that job because he was to stupid to sweep the floor.

Anyone else running ITR/CTR coilovers on an EK? Where did you get your LCA's!!?!?!?!?

Thanks!

 

UPDATE : Seems like the EK9 uses the fork type shock also...

urrggghhhh anyonoe know of another company that makes EK LCA with the ITR mount?

 

way to talk trash about something you know nothing about.

and no, only function-7 makes them.

 

???? I'm sorry, talk trash???

Function7's are not trash... they are however, much more expensive than most other LCA's around.

I fail to see where panties needed be bunched up over said fact?


In other news, anyone know where I could get replacement lower coilover shock mounts for a Cusco coilover set (from eye to fork mount)?

 

 

You don't know, you didnt talk to him... I did. Therefor, it would seem that you are in fact, the one talking trash without knowing.

But thanks for the help 8)

 

i feel you on this one. every few years i'll come across a part i have no option but to purchase from the local dealers.. i dread it.

got mine from an itr. or i suppose you could get them through acura.

 

Hold on! You are using ITR rear LCAs on an EK? HOW????? They should be WAY too long.

I SEARCHED for months, and eventually broke down and bought the Function7 ones. While I feel that rear LCAs are unnecessary, in this case, it is to get a type of shock that was not available from the factory onto the car. I ordered extra bushings just-in-case (but they didn't get shipped, ugh).

When I was putting my suspension in, I could not find any RAs (or equivalent) in the EG/EK mount, so I stepped up and ordered the F7s. I have 3 sets of suspension for an ITR, and I could justify the purchase so that I would not have to take a loss on them.

 

 

Yeah... looks like I'm going to have to do the same.

I sold my F&F because I got a good deal on some Cusco's... the deal is now a little less sweet since I'll have to fork over $300 on some fancy LCA's.

Good on Function7's to actually make them though... glad I have an option.

I also thought about switching the lower mount from the Cusco's to a more regular fork type, anyone else ever did that?

Can you even buy that separatly? I know in the rally world (DMS) you can buy replacement parts.

 

na, missed the ek part. sorry.

3 sets of itr suspension. interested in getting rid of a whole rear conversion?

 

No worries. Sorry for jumping down your throat on it!

Well, I have stock ITR for winter time, and 6 front/4 rear Tein coilovers. I would love to find another pair of rear ITR Tein RAs, to be honest, then I would sell off the set of HAs that I have. I know they are older, but these are VERY good. I have been a Koni guy for a LONG time, but these do work.

I have 10K F / 14K R, and they are very well damped, at full soft. I know of guys going up to 20K+ on the rears, without revalving. they include spherical upper mounts, and are well made.

They are a little aggressive for the street, and will likely put in something softer in the rear to drive around with. There are some ITR setups around lately that I have seen. I would pick up a set of RAs or HAs, and be in love with them.

 

Once you do get those box LCA's a whole other world of dampers opens up I found, similar to what stepping up to a 5x114 hub wheels wise I find.
