Default EG subframe/rack in an EK compatability question

Sorry to ask a similar question as someone else, however before I order parts I would like to make sure I got it correct with part numbers.

We used HR mounts for an EK with an EG subframe/rack.
The mounts are installed, the subframe is installed, the rack is installed.

The problem is the lower control arm doesn't mount, and I know I need to use LCA's from either an EG or a DC.

1 - In order to use a front sway bar, I need to use the LCA from a 92 Si correct?
2 - Do I need to buy an EG/DC front sway bar or will the EK one fit
3 - Do I need the front shock fork from an EG/DC
4 - Do I use outer tie-rod ends from an EK or an EG/DC?

Is there anything else I should need?
Thanks in advance for all the help, I appreciate it. I'll likely pickup the LCA's and new bushings from the dealership today if I hear back in time. If someone happens to have part numbers handy, that would be a bonus

Thanks again!

1. Yes. You need to have LCAs that have sway bar mounts. Either from the Si EG, or DC2.

2. Yes. EK sway bars mount different to the subframe and will not work with the EG/DC setup.

3. No. The EK fork will work fine.

4. EG/DC tie rods must be used because you have to use the EG/DC steering rack.

Only other things you should be aware of would be to make sure you have the right steering rack bushing. If you use a non-PS rack on a PS subframe, you'll need the right bracket and bushing that mounts to the subframe.

Hope that helps!

I use the same set up, in a EK4 saloon, and I canīt use the sway bar, even if it is from a EG, in this case one from a EG9

just a quick question added onto this what bolts are to be used with this subframe. Some of my subframe bolts out of the ek subframe sont seem to be the correct length.
