I have some rear ITR LCA's on my CRX becasue im running Teinies...

well my problem is my alignmet is messing up my tires...

i just need one of these, thats longer then the stock one im runnign now...



i tried a DC integra one, but ist the same length of my stocker...so im thinking EX and EG is also teh same length...

anyone else had this problem? or know what car has a longer arm??

 

I have heard that all eg, and dc compenents are the same. If i am wrong correct me please.

 

Off topic(sort of....)

Why dont you just get some JDM CRX LCA's for your car?

 

you need a compensetor arm off of a crx or civic the tegs and another other car are to long


if i remember right?

 

so do itr lca's mess up ur toe/ camber? because i have some,but i havent put them on yet....

 

You can loosen the compensator arm to chassis bolt and it slides back and forth. Have you tried that?

I'm assuming you're running crx trailing arms. Now that i think about it, you have to use the crx compensator arms regardless of the trailing arm. The DA/DC compensator arms will fit but you'll never get 0 deg toe in the rear. Your car will look pigeon toed in the back.

You're right. The civic /crx compensator arm is about an inch shorter.

Will 88 civic lcas fix your problem?

i dont want to swap out the whole arm, when i can just get a longer compensator arm...if it boils down to it, i migth have to swap

i already maxed out the compensator slack, its all teh way out and no go...

i am running CRX compensators right now, i tried GSR's but they were teh same length...

 

So the DC and ED compensators are the same length? I'm 376.05% sure the DA compensator arm is longer. I guess that would be the next step.

i havent tried the DA, il get some on thursday and il mesure them up...i HOPE they are longer...but i doubt it..

 

Make you one with heim joints. Easy to adjust, too, and it gets the full race bling going.

 

i recently put DA rear disc on my rex and my camber is off to ****. I havent taken it to get aligment yet. My back tires seat kinda inwards and its enough to tell at first sight. I dont think DA are bigger, im running teinies too.

so u dont think the rear DA compensator arm (what i have circled in the pic) is longer then the EF one?

 

EF and DA arms are different lengths by about 1.5-2.5 by my memory. i dont remember which is longer. have you changed your main pivot bushing in the trailing arm? if so, they often must be slid around to get in the right position. alot of times that makes things look off.

I'm positive that the DA compenstaor arm is longer than the crx one.

yup already played with that bushing...

coo coo...il try it out thurs when i get em....

 

My rear camber was all f'd up after putting the DA compensetor arm on and was suddenly corrected after putting my hf one back on. This would lead me to believe the da one is longer in my book

ok, that makes it like 100% that the DA is longer....il find out thursday..

 

What I want to know is what Teins are you running that fit a DC ITR LCA? I have an 88 and have been told I need to switch my LCA to the fork style to run Teins. Sucks...
Thanks.

 

if you run SS u dont need ITR LCAs but if you run Flex than yes.

 

how bad is the toe/ camber on the crx with ITA lca's? because if it s really that bad, then i might just have to put these up for sale...

 

da teg comp arm or 88 crx rear LCA will fix your problems.

 

ok, help me clear some things up here. first of all, are your tires toe-in? when i did my DA rear disc conversion, i used the DA compensator arms and that screwed up my alignment. because of the difference in length, my tires were always toe-in even after trying to adjust the c-arm. after i switched back to the crx arms, alignment was no longer an issue. i'm also running jdm LCAs with my tein HAs, and still have no alignment problems. i hope this helps..

 

he's running ITR rear LCA's. the eg/dc cars have longer rear lower control arms then EF's

they are a measly 1/16" longer, but due to axis of rotaion it ends up pointing the front of the trailing arm in quite a bit. this is why he wants a longer compensator arm to offset the longer LCA.

My bet is that he also has some decent camber goin on

am i correct with what i said about your situation?

 

one more thing..

IF you find the right sized comp arm. It may take some effort to get it lined up. Due to the fact that the comp arm and the rear LCA aren't the only pieces that affect the trailing arms location. the centre TA bushing may hold it back.

I think your best bet is to get some 88 LCA or JDM LCA for a EF chassis.

think of it like this.. take a popcicle stick. hold it between your index finger and your thumb. now place your other thumb in the centre and pull the outsides into the thumb.. that pressue will happen to the TA bushing.

 

now i've got to do some searching. i was under the impression, after hearing and reading, that the EG LCAs were the same length as the EF LCAs (i've seen an aftermarket EG LCA compared with a stock EF LCA and they were the same length). if that's the case, and if EG = DC, then EF = DC. i also thought that 88 CRX SI LCAs, JDM EF LCAs, and JDM DC2R LCAs were all the same length as well. again, not from first hand experience, but from things i've read.

i know the DA LCAs are 1/16'' longer than the EF, but i really think the EG is the same length as the EF.
