Both should fit. I would say to go with the EP3 kit. But why would you want to spend $1000 for an one inch drop. It just doesn't seem worth it to me.

Its not going to be the same uniform drop... the springs for the EP3, DC5 and EM2 are all different lengths. So while it fits, the drop isn't going to work out right. Your front will not drop as far as the back because of dimensional differences and the fact that a D17 weighs a good bit less than a K20.

The Mugen sport suspension is NON adjustable. Which means you just stuff it in there. The drop is designed to be a uniform 1.4" provided that you use EP3 or DC5 dimensions and there's a K20 weighing down the front.
It doesn't matter with coilovers since they ARE adjustable.
I am right.

It still doesn't fix the 5/16" difference between the spring lengths in the front.
