0 Finch Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Top is a stock spring-over-shock setup from an EK, the lower is an EG coilover. As you see the EK is around 10-12mm so you need a couple washers to pack out the fork on the arm MeisterR and BC both make MB specific coilovers, usually the BC's are listed as DC2/MB6 but the difference is negligable, are normally around £600-800. Anything DC2, Civic EG and MB6 will be a direct fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 azza Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 thanks guys its just for my winter hack so just want some lows as dont wanna be driving a standard car round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Danoteg Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Don't bother with any coilovers that arnt specifically for an aerodeck as the rear shocks are different heights an ek shock is a lot shorter than the aerodeck one so even with the coils as high up as they go the rear end will be dumped on its arse with no adjustment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
