So i'm planning my crx build and i'm looking at front knuckle options. I have an HF so my knucks have to GO. I have no problem snagging SI knuckles, but i am interested in DA or SiR knuckles because their wheel bearings are a bit bigger. Also, the DA has a slightly more aggressive camber curve which is always nice. The problem is, none of the threads or websites i could find compared the TIE ROD hole locations between the 3 knuckles (as discussed here http://winhpde.com/tech/civic/ef-honda/) . I'm afraid that if i use a DA knuckle, i'll introduce bump steer. I'm also unaware of any geometry changes that the SiR knuckles have compared to the SI. Does anyone have any info to share??

I have been working with race cars for 30 years. Personally, get confused with the alphabet soup of Honda chassis designations. I built a bumpsteer gauge years ago with two steel plates, a couple of hinges a couple of simple bolts.

I will take pic and post it up. That pic is good in the 2D world of paper but with all the links of modern cars, it is a little difficult to explain without 3d modeling. I normally resort to the "Play with the final answer and get that correct" method.

This is my setup, measuring both camber curves and bump toe on the front of my Evo X. But the thing is is that i modeled the front, built a shank, measured the stock setup, then measured again with my shank till i could zero it out. No one in the Evo X world has done this before, or atleast i'm the first to share it with the world, i dunno. I was hoping that someone already did the hard work for the 88-91 CRX/Civic EF and whatnot. I guess not
