it will bolt up but you need to change the rear brake line and the handbrake to suit the el diff.

And the upper control arm bushes may be thinner on the EA2 compared to the EL ones. You can use your EA2 ones if they are thinner and find something suitable to use as spacers to fill the gap.

Cheers
