Default EG short knuckles

Are there any aftermarket companies that still sell shortened EG hatchback knuckles? Tried searching but only found some for EK civics. I want to shorten the length of my knuckles because I'm running RCAs. I dont want to cut the shock tower. Dont tell me it will mess up my suspension geometry and negate the effects of having a double wishbone...

Thank you for the response sir. Yup I'm aware of that and I considered purchasing that part that was specific for the EK but I am not sure how they engineered that part and if its interchangeable.

If OEM is interchangeable, I'm not sure where you'd be concerned about the modified aftermarket versions being interchangeable.

Mind elaborating on your concerns?

From my recent research it seems the EK knuckle is 1/2" shorter than the EG/DC knuckles. Otherwise you can find people on Instagram selling cut and welded stock cast iron knuckles which I wouldn't recommend.

Because the part I'm swapping isn't OE. The part I am looking at is for EK civics but it doesn't state compatibility with EG civics. This part I've only seen through pictures. I dont want to drop $1k+ and find clearance or angle issues later.
