I currently have a built GS-R in an EG, I am considering swapping everything over to an EK, what (beside an obvious but minor weight difference) are the benefits here and would you do it?

 

i just like the ek's more. and besides, since they are newer there is less chance for rust. u never know how the last person treated the car.

 

If you want speed then go for an EG which is a little lighter then an EK, and cheaper so you can buy more go fast goodies. If you want "baller" status, get an EK, they are damn sexy and everyone around her knows it

if you don't like your car, then get an EJ. if you do like your car, don't switch.

 

i love my gsr ek.....

 

i like the way ek's look. but if you are worried about weight, i'd have to go w/ an eg.

 

What is the weight difference between EK and EG DXs?

 

EK 99-00 DX : Weight: 2388 lbs.
EK 96-98 DX : Weight: 2222 lbs.
EG DX: Weight: 2178 lbs.

Not much difference..50 lbs plus or minus a few...it all comes down to which body style you like better...99's are a lot heavier tho

PM Tom, he is so good at providing the Pros for the "EG" over the "EK."

 

I, myself, is in a quandary. I have a 96 EK DX and a 92 EG VX and I can't decide which one to keep and mod......hmmmmmm

 

wasn't there a topic by tom about the comparison between the two body style?
