Installation notes
Yes — the front subframe, steering rack and lower control arms from a 1994-2001 Acura Integra (DC2) or a 1992-1995 Honda Civic (EG) fit a 1996-2000 Honda Civic (EK) as a set, and K-swap mount kits are built around them. Hasport's EKK product page says the kit 'requires the use of the EG or DC2 subframe, steering rack, and lower control arms.' Hybrid Racing's listing for the same kit says this setup puts the engine slightly farther back in the bay. That gives more room for the radiator, A/C compressor and headers. Innovative Mounts' EK kit (Hybrid Racing listing) lists the same requirement and says the EG/DC2 subframe must include the rear crossmember.
Caution
Important caveats
- The EK's own subframe will not work with these mount kits; Innovative Mounts advises assuming a car has the EK subframe unless you swapped it yourself.
- Use the steering rack and LCAs that match the donor subframe; they are treated as a set.
- K-swap axles for an EG/EK chassis are still required, and these mounts are for K-series manual transmissions.
- Mount kits that have been bolted up may not be returnable, so confirm which subframe you have before ordering.
