I'm posting this on behalf of a friend of mine who has a UK EK VTi (with JDM B18C turbo'd motor) He's after getting JDM ITR Cusco coilovers (Zero2's i think?) for next to nothing ($500 ) and wants to fit them (desperately ), We know that they wont bolt straight in at the rear but what we need to find out is will either JDM EG/Integra LCAs bolt in or are they longer/shorter and is there any way that we can make the coilovers fit other than source JDM CTR rear arms? and if we managed to get CTR rear arms do we also need the rear sway bar from the CTR????????

 

The ctr rear arms are the same as any other ek rear lca. There is no way itr or eg lca will work. They are too short.

 

Thanks...i was figuring that! So does he also have to get a CTR rear sway bar? I'd imagine not????

 

EK (96-00) rear lower control arms are LONGER than 92-95 and 90-00 integra rear LCA's.....

what he will have to do is get a rear piece from cusco for the EK so that it will bolt to the arm

 

Ok...i know nothing about EKs so what kind of rear peice would he need to get to enable him to make them fit. The ITR lower shock is the knuckle type with the hole through the bushing whereas EK lower shocks have the forks...is there something that allows you to change one to suit the other?

 

i know for certain that itr rear suspension won't fit using ek9 lower arms. And as far as I know, the EK rear lower control arm is unique meaning that eg/dc lca's will not fit without dramatically altering your suspension geometry or require heavy modification. sorry

edit, haha didn't read, sorry about being redudant. i think the only thing he can do is get different coilovers. the modifications required don't justify the money saved on the suspension

 

Thank you Soundbomber! Thats the answer i was looking for!
