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...

Re: EG short knuckles
OP just wants more clearance before the UCA balljoint hits the top of the fender well.
the problem is that the knuckle is that height because it needs to clear the tire, as it goes over it slightly.
youd have to totally reconfigure and match the new knuckle height, UCA length, and wheel offsets.

Re: EG short knuckles
Not really. Control arms and the knuckle determine the suspension geometry. A shortened fork would do the same thing as a shortened shock body, but with greater risk of the CV axle shaft hitting the bottom of the shock body.

Re: EG short knuckles
rhetorical question: why don't companies who make roll center adjusters, RCA, or extra long ball joints, just make complementary shortened knuckles instead?
