It will work, but it's best to get the EG crossmember. Then it's supposed to be a direct bolt-up, at least if I've read correctly on Honda-Tech, where there's a couple of write-ups on this.

Not to mention the EG crossmember is lighter and smaller, but it will sacrifice some rigidity...

I was amazed , it actually fit. (with the eg cross member) what I was more suprized at was that the lower controll arms didn't have to be replaced. So green light for you right. Oh, I think you might need the bolts for the eg cross, let me know if you cant find any, I can get you some. I'm in south richmond , I work at woodfin honda (junkyard) so bolts would not be hard to get my hands on haha

i'm not sure if it works with ek b-series rear mount....maybe have to use an eg rear mount...but i do knw that the eg rack is the way to go for k-series into an ek u get more room and with the hasport ek2 mounts they sit the k in the engine bay better then the ek1 mounts..
