you just need the knuckles for the brakes, but if youre going all out with the bushings, I'd take advantage of all the suspension parts that are off the car.

As far as I know, you can use the front LCAs (in conjunction with the front sway and endlinks) and knuckles, I don't think the front upper CAs are interchangable between EK and DC though. I don't know what you have for a rear sway, but I'd use the DC rear lower CAs so you can use an ITR (or any teg) rear sway...

Just make sure to order the bushing kit for whatever the suspension peices youre using... Although the suspension is interchangable between cars, that doesn't mean the bushing diameters in the susp. pieces themelves are the same...

:edit: you should be able to use the civic shocks with teg LCAs, so don't sweat that.

AFAIK, the EK and DC suspensions are very much different. Supposedly it's just the length of the shock/spring combo that differs.

No. Your suspension is different from what I've heard. I have not, however, had them apart and next to each other.


Unbolt a damper assembly (including fork) from your car and hold it up next to the matching assembly on the GSR suspension.






Hey, worst case scenario, keep your current shock/spring combo and just slap it on the GSR suspension.

I'm trying to piece together everything I need for a civic front, and teg rear, bushing replacment.

I can't use any of the hyperflex/master kits it seems.

I would ideally like to go with ONE vendor for everything, because in the imaginary fairy tale world I live in, I like to think that they designed their upgrades to work as a system, together...

Anyone have any opinions on mixing and matching prothane components and energy suspension components?

Call up energy suspension direct, they can piece together a master kit for your setup.
