EK9 coilovers on Sedan?

Hey lads after picking up a set of EK9 (JDM CTR) TEIN Super Street coilovers and wondering if anyone is running a suspension set up from an EK any tips or hints for fitting em... Question
Will hopefully get em on tomorrow if not Ill be back asking how to overcome some problem or other Embarassed

They won't fit, from what I recall...we tried fitting a set of Neuspeed springs for an EK on my wife's '89 CR-X Si, not even close. Sad

Well tried this and failed the front dampers are at least 2inches longer so didnt even attempt going at the back Mad ..
will make money selling them on anyway EK9 are very common over here Cool

are you getting the coilover/shock in 1?

I find EG/EK springs will fit on my ef sedan with the correct rubber in the tophat.

No I got a complete damper, spring and top mount set up. The whole assembly itself was about 2inches longer Embarassed
Gold DA9

see them and then use the money to buy the EF set.
Type-S EF

I dont see why anyone would try to put other suspension on our cars, the EF has the shortest shocks (minus the front on a 3rd gen accord) and has lots to choose from.  From no name coil overs, to full tein and ohlins coilovers.  Anything else would be longer, therefore shortining the suspension travel.

Can someone please explain?

Well I obviously didnt know this at the time wasnt on here at that stage to ask.. The suspension was cheap so I said worth a try it didnt work out so now its sold on again.. No harm done Smile

And now Ive another set of EF coilovers sourced so these could be going on shortly Cool
Type-S EF

Your not the first to ask this, or say they've modify it to work, i just wonder why people would go through the effort or take the risk.

Well I took the chance because the price was great so was worth taking them.. I wouldnt go to the bother of trying to fit them so sold them on again to buy EF ones

Man where are you sourcing these cheap coilovers from... Help a fellow member out! haha

Im on some NRG coil sleeves.. and my shocks are gone.. need to go get some new ones.
C-Rex
