Suspension Help!!!!!!!!
I Know This Has Been Asked Before But Can I Use Ep3 Or Dc5 Complete Coilover Kit Or Coilovers Like The Skunk2 And Gc.....or I Have To Use The Ones They Make For Em2?
ep3 is diff, nothing from the ep3 will work on the em2.
but i believe the dc5 suspension is similar to the em2's with a higher spring rate i believe? i read this from zzxyzz/boilermaker/robbclark1 in the past. hopefully they can chime in.

You can use EP3 coils on a EM2. I have JIC EP3 Coils. As long as the springs are linear and not progressive, then coilovers are fine. Full coils you have to find out two things.
what size are your mount bolts and what size are the coils you are getting. 01-02 EM2/ES are 14mm, 03+ is 16mm. 02-03 EP3 is 14mm I believe. In 04 they changed to 16mm.
What size is the tie rod end bolt. Our tie rod end bolts are smaller than the newer EP3 and all DC5. Easy fix is just to get their tie rod ends.
But why would you want EP3 coils from GC or Skunk when you can just ask them for different spring rates? Just get the EM2 ones.
