the front strut forks i believe are different and i know for a fact the rear LCAs are different. now the DC and EG chassis are the same!

The front shock forks are identical as are the mounting holes. The fronts are never a problem. In order to get the rear to fit you need to change out the lower shock mount bushing - the center one in the contrrol arm.

The EG runs a longer bushing so you'll have to press it out and run the shorter EK bushing. That is the only difference.

correct..i'm running eg/dc2 struts on my ek. Fronts fit perfect, Rears i used washers in between the fork and the bushing due to the thinner bushing/wider fork.

This guy's obviously never put an EK suspension setup onto an EG, so don't listen to him
The other guy is correct the fronts mount up exactly the same, and the rears require a 3MM washer or so since the bushing on the EG LCA is a little thinner than the EK LCA.
