Hi all,
As some may be aware, I've recently replaced the OEM shocks for some Mugen Showa dampers.
I've since found out that the Track rod ends are off an EP3. I spent some time looking through the car's detailed history and it's showing Civic Shock absorbers were put on the car in 2015 which I'm baffled about, so I called the Garage that did the work and the lad I spoke to happened to be the previous owner.
He explained it's just the rears that are EP3 shocks, the fronts should still be the DC5 ones and he only chose to put Civic ones on as they were easier to get hold of brand new and they're exactly the same as DC5 shocks at the rear anyway. Is this correct?
I've taken some photos of them, can anyone confirm if they are indeed DC5 front shocks please? The rears are made by Monroe.
Cheers
