Hardrace RTA Bushings

You will save about ~$65 going with Hardrace and they are just as good as the Mugen parts.
Nice!

Will buy!

Tai I did the RTA Sebring HPDE, would of been better going off to a Nasa event. Either way my oil pump let go at the end of my first session and the bottom end chewed itself up.

We need measurements. I know Wes took measurements for the DA and crx si arms (which showed about a 5mm difference each side). I remember a friend using 95 ex rear disc on his 89 hatch and it too 'appeared' to affect wheel fitment, much like the DA arms. We did not get around to measuring them. So for me, just to be on the safe side, I chose to use the crx si arms. Afterall, they were specifically designed for the EF chassis.

100 percent correct. I don't know why you guys are saying that the DA and EF RTA are the same. They are way different.

90-93 yes. Clipsed has it right just hard to understand due to the comma placement.

I had originally put my Mugen bushings in DC RTA's and then sold the RTA without the bushings and put them into my EF RTA. Fit without issues in both arms.

What does it matter? 89+ crx rear suspension is identical to the hatchback, only difference is disc equipped or not, which has no effect on anything but braking (some will even argue this, lol) and a slight weight difference. Do I have this wrong?

I'm going to let you guys sort this out. When you reach a conclusion, let me know so I can order all the right rear disc parts.

Wow that blows. Not good seat time or what? If my car is running, I'm going to be doing a NASA event later this year.
