Default Suspension swap...skunk 2 pro-c gsr to ek

finally ready to swap coilovers. now with this swap i am hoping to put 99 si struts with skunk2 springs into the dc and the pro-s's into the ej6-ek. from my searching i found that i need 2 x 5 mm spacers to make this work for the ek.

quote from evltek
"Children - Skunk2 make 1 set of coilvers for EK/EG/DC. The kits they supply for the Ek come with 2 X 5mm spacers so that the wider fork (which matches with the wider arm in EG/DC) is a snug fit. (that is when I was bringing em in anyways - they list them as separate part numbers but only difference is the spacers supplied for EK kits)."

also, im guessing that the si shocks will not fit in the dc. i've read though with a bench grinder people have reduced the size of the fork/lcas to make them fit. true/false? also, this dc has polished lcas

The coilovers from the GSR will swap over. You will need to add some spacers to the rear. The EG/DC forks are wider.
The sway bar will swap over. You will have to use ALL 99-00 SI hardware, as well as you will need "spacers" for the where the endlinks go in. They are widing then the EK, and you can't use the DC endlinks.

LCA's, Subframe brace WILL NOT swap over.
