hello all,I was just wanting to know if the front strut (which still has my eibach springs on) fit my mates civic ep3 type r? are the rear springs fit? thanks

rear yes
front no

yes on both counts i believe, fronts struts you will need to use dc5 track rod ends and the rears should fit but the bush is slightly girthier by 2mm so you would need to file it a bit

As above. I'm running an ep3r suspension. Front required ep3 tie rod ends. The rear required washers for the eyelets since they're thinner.

ok its easy

dc5 front has a bigger track rod ends

dc5 rears have a wider lower bush (is 1mm wider either side)

so dc5 suspension onto ep3 you need dc5 track rod ends and to machine 1mm off either side of the lower bushes

and ep3 suspension onto dc5 you need ep3 track rod ends and 4x 1mm spacers for the rear lowers.
