Someone correct me if I am wrong, but to run EK shocks on a an EG you have to shave down sides of the bushings, and to run EGs on an EK you have to use washers on either side of the bushing.

so if only the bushings then i can make it work. as long as the holes line up right. thanks for the response.

BTW, does anyone have any experience with DropZone suspension?
