you need to grind down the rear LCA bushings, since the rear shock forks on the ek are narrower.

Let me get this right so you have ctr n1's on a 92-95 with my lcr's. Are the ek9 n1's same as the SI n1's

I have EK9 Buddy Club Racing Specs on GSR LCA's on my EG . Confusing enough?

But yeah, like the man said....grind down the metal bushing on both sides so the fork slides over. Don't get it too hot too fast, or you will melt the rubber bushing and it will be sloppy

they actually came with 14k front and 10k rear. I took those 14k fronts out as fast as I could and opted for some 500 lbs Eibach 7 inch ERS springs. The rates are 500 front and 550 rear. These are the only coilover setup I would go with...otherwise, revalved Koni Yellows. The damper body is huge, great adjustablility, and they can handly high spring rates and actually last.

Great setup....although my setup is almost too aggressive for Azenis under hard driving now....

did u have to modify the perches at all to fit the Eibach ers springs.. because I know you have to modify tein perches to fit the Eibach ERS springs on it..thanks for the info.. at the moment I run a Tein SS.. but these BC I got for a killer price so I just couldn't pass them up since they were brand new..but they did come with 10k/7k springs so I was curious on it..

I'd like to know this also. I'm getting my N1's revalved this winter and I'm gonna order some ERS's. They sell 2.25 and 2.5, but I believe all japanese coilovers use 60mm (2.36") springs.

I am running 2.5 inch ERS's on mine without any problems.

It looks like 2.25 MIIIIIGHT fit, or it's a tad too small. As my 2.5's are not too big, but they could be smaller.
