Hi,

I have the following and am hoping to put them on my ep3. I have read that the shocks are not compatible. Would the springs be? Hoping to use the complete knuckle and the lower aluminum arm. Can someone shed some light on this?

Thanks,

JMI

The shocks will fit. Some one on this site used shocks for a dc5 on their ep3, I beleive they used the JIC kit and it worked with some mods, something about the bolt size used at the steering knuckle. As for the steering knuckle, I know that it can be be done, you are just going to have to measure the lower control arm to see if it is the same size, you may have to use different size bolts but, it should work. You always have to do a little customizing with these set ups but if you measure everything and dot your I's and cross your t's you should be able to minimize down time.
