CTR springs/shocks - will it fit in the EP???

[graham]

Hello,

Anyone know if I will have any fitment issues with CTR (UK) springs/shocks?

I'm buying my EP a birthday present :)

Honestly I'm not 100% sure. I'm thinking the CTR suspension might be closer to the RSX, because it IS five lug. I honestly couldn't tell you though, and I'm just thinking out loud. Either way, the differences wouldn't be major, but whether it's a simple drop-in or not, I'm not sure.

Hmmm ... good point. Does that mean for people who do the 5 lug conversion, they have to get different struts/springs?

honestly I don't know. I know there have been a few people who did 5 lug conversions, maybe ask them. RacerDre is one person I know who has done it.

Nahhh ... I like my '02 ... it's paid for :)

I was looking at the k-series write up for the 5-lug conversion ... it doesn't mention anything about needing to change the suspension ...

just wondering why you would wanna do a CTR suspension set up when for prolly the same price you can get something "better"?

they should fit. it has nothing to do with lugs. the tein flex coilovers are made for the CTR and they fit fine.

you don't have to have a 5-lug converted to our 02 ep to put on the ctr shocks/ springs.... i have the ctr shocks but i did not convert it to 5-lug....

Awesome news.

I'd just like to thank cpu519 & SpoonEP3 for helping me confirm that the CTR springs/shocks *should* be bolt on ... no surprises ... but we'll see.

Also - the shocks are in fact stiffer, unlike some literature I've read.

They will take about a month to get here, because I was forced to take the _slowest_ shipping route possible ... but the wait should be worth it. Combine these with a CTR sway bar and I'll be all set :)

I'll let you guys know when they're in! I don't think this has been done by anyone on this board, so I guess this makes me the guinea pig :)
