Default Lower control arm questions

I have a question for suspension experts out there.

I was wondering if the mounting points on a rear 99 civic's lower conrtol arm has the same mounting points as the rear lower control arms on a 92-95 civic hatch. they say the 99's are slimmer and to fit my new suspension I am in need of the slimmer ones so I was wondering if I could fit the 99 ones on my 94 hatch.

thanks for the help

I don't understand the problem. Why do you think that you need slimmer LCAs to accomodate your new suspension? If you have the correct setup for your car then it should work with stock arms.

Im sorry I didn't fully explain the situation.

I got a really good deal on a set of coil overs from a 99 civic from a friend, and I found out from this forum that to install the 99 civic suspension on a 94 hatch I would need to grind 1/8 and inch off of my rear lower control arms. Since, the 99's LCA's are thinner. I was wondering that instead of grinding, I could install 99 LCA's on my 94 hatch? if so this would solve all my problems.

i doubt it..... most of the gen 6 components don't comply with the 5th gen civic.

negative. You cannot use 96+ control arms due to the fact that they are much longer.
