DC2 Suspension bolt into JDM EG6?

robstar · 25th July 2005, 07:22 PM

I've had a search but couldn't find the specifics. Basically I'm wanting to put the adjustable platform suspension out of a DC2 coupe into my EG6 hatch.
I'm pretty sure that the JDM EG6 SIR has eye mounts for the shocks at the back and fork mounts at the front, the same as the DC2, thus any suspension for a DC2 should bolt straight into my car (JDM EG6). I'm 99% sure, but was just wondering if anyone could confirm this. Thought this post may also be useful for people searching in the future. If you're reading this Phil, I cant remember what you told me yesterday, I was too tired

Cheers guys, Robbie

yeah man there the same, i just put dc2 adjustable platforms in a mates eg6 and they went in no problem

Same. However if you buy springs the springs may have different spring rates.

yeh and if they are out of a NZ new DC2 then it will be a fork type rear and not fit ur JDM eye type rear shock.

id say you will be fine with the varying spring rates

Cheers for all the help guys, it was suspension out of a JDM facelift SiR (ncenlo) so it should be sweet. will post up how it goes this weekend when i get it in

What about DA and DC springrates? Will they be much different?
