new cables require some stretching, that is why you have one grabbing and the other not

da cables are probably too long, even if you routed them correctly...you should have bought cables that best fit your chassis - si hatch

so what i should do is just get some cables from an si hatch and keep the arms or replace it all??? also with the new arms on there it makes the wheels stick out about an 1/8 of an inch.

you need to use your civic control arms
just replace the cables, not the entire thing...

use your civic lca's...like I said
(LCA's are the part that connects to the wheel, fron the subframe - the shock is attached to it)
