Gilman Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Iv got a tegiwa rear upper strut bar for my VTI-S. Its supposed to fit a 96-00 EK civic. I thought that Stuff from EK civics fitted our MB6's but the bolt holes are out by miles. Im going to send it back and get a different one but am now not sure whats going to fit. Should i try the EG or DC2 one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB3Matt Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Only certain EK bits fit, EG/DC2 are the interchangeable parts. Not sure about the rear upper being the same, if they are, I reckon I'll be purchasing one myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 This is true about the eg stuff being more likely to fit, but my rear strut brace was sold as being eg/ek so would have thought that you'd be okay?How much do you mean by out by miles? I had to use a bit of force to get the holes to line up with the bolts. I'm sure that kink had the same with his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkesyMB6 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I thought a DC2 one fitted, but don't quote me on that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other holes are in the wrong place compleatly. I would need to drill new holes to make it fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVEMB2 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I got one for ej and that was a bit out had to fit one side a and then force it about 5inch to get it over the bolts . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 that's about the same for me I reckon - deffo did one side first and needed a bit of man-handling (steady Tom... ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sambobuchanan Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Try a strut brace for an MG ZS? I have my eye on a really tidy one by Dark Ice Designs, they're fairly pricey compared to cheaper ebay brands but look the part and apparently should fit! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MG-ZS-rear-STRUT-BRACE-Rover-400-45-420-180-UK-Made-Dark-Ice-Designs-/111209534966?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3AMG+ZS&hash=item19e49ad5f6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also have a matching front brace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
