Yes if you get the Lower Control arms for both front and rear.

That's a negative. You can't use the Si controls arms in the rear, and don't need them up front.

not to confuse you more.
the rears you need the trailing arm, spindles, axles, rotors, calipers and brake lines. (everything that unbolts from the car in the rear except the LCA's)
fronts, use your LCA's and the SI's knuckle/calaper/rotors/brake lines.

in case ya want proof that the front works, check my sig.
everything mounted right in. (camber and toe were off though)
rears, I've helped do the exact swap twice onto EG's so I know it works also.

he's talking about suspension, not brakes.

What does that mean? What parts exactly do you want to swap?
I know that CTR control arms do not bolt up to 5th gen civic.

dude, i have a 93 EJ2 coupe. best thing for suspention is to get ITR shocks/H&R race springs & ITR LCAs

SofaKing

i am able to get everything from the Si, shocks/struts, LCA, UCA, knuckles, rotors, calipers, the Full nine yards.
From what i read above, i just need to use my LCA's for the front and rears on the Si suspension to make it work for my car? I hope i got it right, if someone could clarify a little better, **** will be all good thanks for everyones help so far

anyone???

yes for the fronts, the full knuckle will bolt onto your lcas. For the rear, same thing except you won't be able to use the Si rear shocks without grinding down your lca bushings so the fork can slip over them. I'd stick with your own shocks for the rear to simplify things.

damn thats a bitch! I heard GSR and ITR suspension is a direct bolt in to the eg???? just keeping my options open, thanks.

for itr suspension you need itr control arms cause they're completely different in the rear.

SloCivicHMM

The Brakes bolt right up......simple as that...keep all your stock LCA's on it......

LIke someone said the rear strut forks are different....keep your stock struts....also be aware that the car will sit higher since the springs are made for a heavier car....I know cuz I had 99-00 aftermarket springs on my EG...

SofaKing

im getting GSR LCA's too with the suspension, they dont bolt up i take it?(to EG chassis) As for the shock fork, BFD, i have a welder, die grinder, cuttin torch,, ill make that **** work!
Is it a nessecity to keep stock LCA's? obviously if i have GSR LCA's and GSR struts, its going to work....?

The gsr lcas will be perfect, they're about the same as your stock ones but they'll have swaybar holes. So use them. They bolt up no problem

You should still use your own shocks for simplicity, and they'll bolt up fine to the gsr lcas. If you want to use the Si shocks, then you'll need to modify the lcas. Which isn't that fun. It took me an hour on-car with my air die grinder.
