Default EG/EK/DC front suspension questions...

I'm interested in doing an EG/DC subframe conversion to my EM1 and I have a few questions...

From what I have read I need an EG/DC subframe, EG/DC rack, EG/DC lower control arms, sway bar, forks and some bolts...

I want manual steering so I plan on going with a 92-95 CX manual rack and subframe... The forks seem to be all the same so that brings me to the LCAs/sway bar...

The EG and DC seem to have different part numbers for the lower control arms... I want to run a GSR sway bar so will either LCAs work or will I need one from a DC?

You'll need FLCAs from any 94-01 Integra, 92-95 Civic EX/Si/LX, or 93-97 Del Sol Si/VTEC. Lower trimmed Civics did not have front sway bars, which is why their part numbers for the FLCA are different.

It still seems like the EGs with sway bars have a different P/N then the DC...

95 Civic EX: 51350-SR3-020

01 Integra GSR: 51350-ST7-010

Slightly different shape as far as the "I" part being more round than the other where it connects to the "A" part. They both fit.

I used an Integra "A" with the stock "I" because I was lazy to swap it out from the subframe.

Thanks for the info... Now I just have to figure out if using an EG/DC B series rear mount will work so I can do the whole subframe swap before I go for the K swap... I have read people who said Hasport claims it will work but no real confirmation...

What is the benefits of switching to the EG/DC subframe?

Switching to an EG/DC subframe allows you to run the EKK2 mounts which have a number of benefits over the standard EKK1 mounts which utilize the EK subframe...

Some of which include better axle angle (doesn't put as much stress on them), better choice of radiators, and most importantly it moves the engine 2 inches rearward (helps going in/out of driveways and over speedbumps, better weight distribution) and 1 inch up (general ground clearance)...

just make sure when you have the b-swap in there with the 92-95 subframe you will need to use the 94-01 integra 5spd rear engine T bracket
