EK/9 Coilovers on EM Coupe?

[em_dee]

I've been searching around and can't find 100% sure info.

So I'm thinking to get coilovers some time in the near future, and here in Australia there isn't a hell of alot of parts for the EM1.. So here's the question,
Will EK9 suspension/coilovers be straight bolt on with the EM1? From what I've gathered it won't be, as they have the same LCA style as the Integra DC, Civic EG series; without forks on the rear, as the EM does. The front from a DC/EK will fit fine but it's the rear that's a problem? Can I somehow use the rear forks from the EM on the rear shocks of a EK/DC/EG?
I'm wondering if there's any makes' suspension which will be interchangeable with the EM? With out getting the Function 7 LCA? Iknow this might not be the best forum to get info about a coupe, but I've tried the EM1 forum and had no luck.. I'm guessing the coupe would have the same set up as a EK4?

Cheers!

All 96-00 Civics can share ALL suspension parts.

DC/EG cannot use EK Lower Control Arms, Lower Tie Bars, Subframe Brace

EK cannot use DC/EG Lower Control Arms, Lower Tie Bars, Subframe Brace

EK can use DC/EG coilovers with washers to make up for extra space on DC/EG forks

DC/EG cannot use EK coilovers without shaving the LCA bushing

Oh ok sweet as. Thanks for all the help.
So in that being said, I can purchase ek9 coilovers and they'll fit straight on with out any extra modding?
I must have mis-read somewhere then that EK9 uses eyelet type fitment instead of the forks?
Thanks again for the help!
