the DA trailing arms... etc. get swapped onto EFs all the time without any problems. however i have read on http://home.wideopenwest.com/~tschmidt/ that "92-95 Civic's/Del Sol's and 94-97 Integra's also apparently use the same trailing arm." can anyone else back this statement up?

thanks

yep.... 92-95 Civic's/Del Sol's and 94-97 Integra's use the same trailing arm.
DA trailing arms are the oddball though. They're identical to the other trailing arms except for a slightly larger trailing arm bushing.

 

That is correct!

Actually someone that knows some schit!! LoL

 

trailing arms from the 90-93 teg works great. But one day when I was in the junkyard I checked out the trailing arms from later tegs they looked like they would fit but aren't the brakes different on the 94 and ups?

 

so ur saying they will bolt onto an EF without any alignment issues?

yep... as long as you don't use the DA compensator arms. Your wheels will have uncorrectable toe-in with DA comp arms. Use ED/EF control arms.

 

awesome... thanks

umm now that ive reread this thread ive confused myself. DA trailing arms fit, but will DC trailing arms fit as well? that was my original question, but i dont think i worded it right. sorry for any confusion.

Yeah you can use DA/DC trailing arms. Use your stock control arms and compensator ( dogbone looking thing up front). If you try to use the DA/DC compensator your toe will be way off, and your trailing arm will rub against the body inside the area for the trailing arm.

Good info eda6

Nope, the fronts are <u>slightly</u> different though.

 

I'll be raping a '92 DA for it's entire braking system this weekend, all going on the 4dr. So long drums!!

 

you can do this on a '88 crx tho correct? im assuming the ITR style shocks will still work as they bolt onto the lca's...

 

Good info. Keep it bumped

 

What about the brake booster?

 

for the brake booster you need 90-93 DA brack booster and master cylinder. it will work perfrect. you can use a 94-01 dc booster pack but u have to use the 90-93 DA master cylinder because the lines go to the same side unlike the dc's

 

bump to answer my q - you can do this swap on 1988 crx's correct?

heres my setup:

 

jeezus kid, resize that ****


I'm gonan do a DA swap on my car in the next couple months. Where do you order the trailing arm bushings for? I gotta get it for a DA right? becasue the crx bushing would be TOo small? Where's a good place to have these bushings pressed in?

 

pretty sweet setup.

the thing is, i would like to keep my unique 88 rear suspension. is it possible to do that and still utilize the DC trailing arms?

thanks

 

yes you can,forgot that the only reason why i swaped the lca also was because i wanted more options for my suspension.

 

can anyone tell what kind of rear struts i got? i know they kyb, but what type
