I just put a B18a into my 91 CRX, and i'm having problems with the axles. I'm using 90-93 Integra axles, but they seem to be bottoming out (compressing against the hubs). My car is lowered 2"+, so this is most likely the reason. Are there any mods i can perform to correct this? BTW, i already removed the ring spacers on the hubs. Thanx,

BEN

I don't know if it's the problem, but have you tried a camber correction kit? Seems it might be important for such a big drop when the motor's lower than it was originally intended to be.

did you also take the spacer out on the axles??? that will be the problem if you didn't

I do have a camber kit installed, and its adjusted to +2 degrees. I know that will give a little more space for the axles. I think i might have figured out the problem though. Both HASport and HPC state that you have to remove the spacer off of the axles like you said (XtraFastCRX), but there were none on the axles. I ordered re-manufactured axles from Carparts.com. I just figured they didn't include them with the axles, but now i think they just made the axle joint longer to take the place of the spacer. Cheaper to construct i guess. What i did was take my air grinder and hack a slice off of the axle so it slides into the hub further. Its about 50% better, but i need to take it apart and slice a little more metal off. I know this is not good for the axles, but at this point i don't care. Does anyone have a picture of an OEM honda axle? I just want to be sure of how the original looks.

Not me sorry... I'm using cheap-*** Lordco-brand axles that have broken CV joints after only 2 months operation . Talk about a waste of money...
