Had an ek9 and DC2 both on standard suspension drove as dailies
Absolutely adored my ek9 but drivers car would go to the DC2 IMO! It ticked all the boxes for me, raw, more poke, handled amazing had full trust in it round the bends.
Ek9 is the better daily car though, more space, comfier and not as hard on the road.
Both return similar MPG, about 300 to a tank from experience but both rev way too high on the dueller/motorway generally about 4k revs at 70mph..
Never drove an Ek9 with a B18 though...its all personal opinion
