EK strut braces + headers on EF7 CRX ??

[type-r-dunk]

Hi
Does anyone know if Spoon ek9 front and rear strut braces would fit on my old EF7 (1.6 DOHC 16v) CRX. Also can a aftermarket B16B mani be modded to fit it as no one seems to sell them.
Cheers Dunx

I'm 99% sure that a front and rear upper brace from an EK should fit Dunk. I found that info over on Crx-UK after a quick search, so it doesnt come from personal experience though. It was confirmed by one of the most experienced members who builds/sells and breaks them on the forum, so i have little reason to doubt it. Can't help with the mani q though I'm afraid.

Not sure if you are a member over there, but its worth joining up for the info available through the search function if you ever need any pointers or help.

I was always under the impression that it was only the eg,dc and ek chassis' where the strut braces where interchangeable. IIRC the eg chassis is different to the older ef and ee chassis and that the braces will not fit.

OK cheers guys. I just couldn't be bothered to strip out all the rear interior for it not to fit.

From reading up on the headers it seem's some people have drilled out the DC Sports header flange bolt holes but don't know if its a R or non R mani they used. I can't believe on one sells headers for these any more.
