Here's a free fump and some information I have to offer. The upper a arms are not compatible. I say this because the Skunk2 upper a arm camber kit doesn't fit, so I wouldn't imagine the stock ones would either. The front shocks are compatible as long as you use the forks from the 94+ teg. somebody help him out with some more help

not sure about fronts, but i just picked up a set of lower control arms for the rear off of a DA integra and it bolted up beautifully into my DC2, so im guessing the DA stuff will fit DCs as long as the DA has independent rear suspension, because some DAs have solid rear axles (like CRXs). fronts sound like they should work (springs/struts) if you use the DC damper fork. good luck man, just had the same question a few days ago, and got it figured out of my own, so i thought i'd throw my $.02 in here. independent suspension from DA = interchangable for DC for the rear at least. just look at the 2 cars and compare, you can tell if itll fit or not just by looking at it and doing a little measuring. hope this helped.

All DA9, DB1, and DB2s had independant rear suspension. Maybe in japan there were some G2s with a rear beam, but not in the US.

well i got sick of my car handling like **** and goin all over the road, so i switched out the outter tie rods with ones from a 94 up gsr and they worked, im going to get it aligned tomorrow and i will let you all know how it turns out

btw its still rough and sounds like its hitting really hard when i hit a bump? what could this be,

and how do i tell that the inner tie rod is bad, icould spin the rod around freely when i took the outter tie rod off

DA3's (86-89 integras) have a solid bear rear suspension...also known as a panhard rod.

The upper A arms are pretty easy to find out if they are bad. Just jack up the front and and start yanking on the tire. I had real bad play in those upper balljoints mainly because there was no grease left in them. I looked and looked and couldn't find anywhere that sold just the balljoints. Places wanted like $120/piece for each A-arm too. I ended up just pulling some lower mileage A-arms from the junkyard with good balljoints. That's the one good thing about a DA, there are a decent amount of them in junkyards.
