Hi,

I want to swap my front LCA with another one, in which I would install new bushings first.
So i'm looking for a set of front LCA and i would like to know if a ek9 one would fit?
I have a Facelift Ej9 with a arb in the front...

So which one could I take without having to change the arb/ suspension fork ?

Thank you guys :)
 
but the coupés are different I guess ?

Are the ek9 ones a two piece design or just the same as the ej9 ones?
 
Be cautious, it's the same only if your ej has front swaybar. If not then the wishbones are different.
 
They are all the same, even the ej9s without arb. They still have the tab for the drop links
 
When I fitted an EK9 front ARB to my coupe I had to swap the original LCA's to EK9 ones cause the EK9 droplinks went through the LCA horizonally instead of vertically (original one in pic)

Dunno whether EJ9's have that setup or not but thats what you'll need to look out for :nice:

all ej/ek's have the same front and rear LCA's. :nice:

The USDM 3dr 6th gen has a two piece, cast steel front LCA, where as the JDM/EDM EK (3/4/9) model civic have the pressed, hollow single piece LCA which is the same as the USDM EM1 Si.

I only knew this after ordering the wrong bushings.

Clear as mud I guess.
 
This is the 2-piece cast front LCA, what is the model code of your coupe?
