- Sun Sep 28, 2008 10:36 am #71749 Well i got a set of coilovers for my eg,

They are for an ek but im sure i can get them to fit my car,

Does anyone know for sure what has to be changed??

As far as im aware these are the choices i have,

1 Get the ek forks to fit on to my coilovers, but since they are wider at the bottom i will have to change the bushin on my LCA to get them to fit.

2 Have emailed bc racing to see if i can buy the eg for attachments for the front 2 coilovers so i can leave my bushings intact,

3 heard there is some where that makes forks that fit the ek suspension but are the same at the end as the eg forks.

Any other info for me anyone??

I think i will just make some minor modifications to the rear bushing to get the forks to fit over them!!

Thanks for the info dude.

no the LCA's for an EK are about 3 inch's too long to be used on a EG

Remember when Civics were cool ? Yea me neither

What he said. Just get a new fork for the rear coil over. Its just that easy.

Yup but then you don't exactly have a coilover, just springs on your damper.

But yeh, the EK rear LCA's are thinner than our EG/EJ's. Even if you change the LCA it wont change anything. Buy the fork to have a clean fit or buy some coilovers for an EK

my rears are blown so i figure i can just put um on.
