Default How can I get dc2/eg coilovers on an EK? Change Lca's?

I am looking to get a set of Cusco Comp-S coilovers. But, the seller only has dc2 and eg models. Can I modify these coilovers to run in an EK? Will there be any negative effects?

I also have SRR LCA's, if that makes any difference.

the coilovers should work. just make sure you install the correct size rubber rings between the sleeve and strut. unless you have ctr struts which i heard is slightly wider than stock, i dont see why you would have any problems. by the way how much are those cusco coilovers?

if they are a complete coilover, you cant use them if they are ITR specific. IF they are regular DC2 US model and US EG model, you use spacers on the LCAs.

I got them for $800 shipped. I was just wondering, aren't dc2 coilovers "ball-joint-style" rather than the Ek's fork style.

On Type-R's yes. Normal teg's and civics are fork style.

I think you're mistaking the Cusco's for a sleeve type coilover. Here are the Cusco's.


They are 100x better than sleeves...

Thanks everyone, I'll post pics when I get everything on. So far I have the Cusco Comp-s coilovers, Cusco rear tie bar, SRR LCA's, F/R Spoon strut bars, and an itr sway bar. How does that sound?

I have yet to purchase the coilovers, the seller gave me time to find out if they would fit. Where can I buy a set for an EK for a good price?
