EK9 shocks?


I ran a set of ek9 shocks and springs on my ek3 and they where an upgrade, the spring rates are nearly 3 times as stiff i think as the standard ek3/ ej9 suspension is wollowy and soft.

They defo increase the handling capabilities of the car and i thought they where a good improvement for the £100 i paid for them. My ej9 is running ek9 shocks with progressive tanabe springs, they are slightly stiffer than the standard ek9 springs but ive yet to see if they respond better ( probably not).

The ek9 springs will only very slightly lower the vehicle though. id recommend a rear arb if you dont have 1.


Did you had the same problem like "NicoEk4"with the car being higher in the front as in the rear when you used ek9 shocks and springs on your ek3?
I don't think that's possible cause when you buy aftermarket springs they are always the same for ej9/ek3/ek4.(Maybe he didn't installed them properly??)

I like to get some ek9 shocks and springs in the future for my ej9,but would not like the height difference front/rear.
