EK9
EK9-specific parts are a small subset of a very large EK platform. Anything we list as EK9 is a part that differs from the standard EK, and we say what the difference is.

What we need from you
The EK9 chassis number and the build month settle most fitment questions on this car, and they settle them better than the model year does. A part number if you have one, or a photograph of the part still on the car if you do not.
We come back with a landed Australian dollar price, usually within 4 business days, with duty, GST and freight to your postcode already in it.
We hold no EK9 stock. Everything here is sourced to
order, which is why we can go after the specific part your car needs rather than
selling you the one that happened to be on a shelf.

All EK9 categories
Engine
Long and short blocks, turbochargers, manifolds, fuel and cooling. Engine parts are the most variant-sensitive things on these cars, so we work from the chassis number rather than the model year.
Drivetrain
Gearboxes, differentials, clutches, driveshafts and transfer cases. Grade matters more than model here — two grades of the same car can share almost nothing in this category.
Suspension
Coilovers, dampers, springs, arms, bushes and bracing. Both factory and aftermarket, and we will tell you honestly when a used coilover is not worth the freight.
Brakes
Callipers, rotors, master cylinders, lines and pads. Factory big-brake setups from the higher grades are among the most requested things we look for.
Body and exterior
Panels, bumpers, wings, glass and trim. Freight is a real part of the landed price on anything panel-sized, and we quote it up front rather than after you commit.
Interior
Seats, rails, trim, instrument clusters, steering wheels and switchgear. Interior parts are where originality is hardest to find and easiest to misrepresent.
Lighting
Headlights, tail lights, indicators and fog lights. Lenses craze with age, so we photograph them in daylight rather than under workshop lighting.
Wheels
Factory and aftermarket wheels, and the odd offsets that suit these chassis. Counterfeits are common in the desirable sizes, so we check forging stamps and weights.
