First off I tried searching but couldnt find any pics. I want to know if integra rear lca's are supposed to have a curve in them. I got these lca from a 97 GS when I bought my rear disc conversion. I checked a friends 97 Gsr arms and I didnt see much of a curve. I know my stock civic lca dont have the curve. Will these bolt up to my 93 civic? I need them for the sway bar holes but I am not sure if the curve in these is normal. Thanks alot.

 

mine dont have that,

 

not to be a dick but where were those things from the ocean..

 

no they are not from the ocean, why do you say that cause of the tiles? anyone know if they are supposed to be curved?

 

my rlca's are curved a bit... when you look at the rear of the car they go from _ to a sort of incline to the subframe... i dont know about the curve that you are showing with those pics... i would go to a dealership and ask to see the ones they have in stock. that would tell you whether or not those are bent to hell or not.

 

thats normal. i can say CRX/civics all 89+ do.

 

It's normal.

Maybe 89-95, but my 99 rear LCAs don't look like that at all.

 

youre right, after 95 they went to an ugly stamped steel piece. i actually only meant 89-91, even tho 92-95 civics are the same too.

 

My 95 GSR rear LCAs were curved like that.

My 92 civic had straight LCA's, but also no rear swaybar mount holes.

My 89 civic had curved LCAs.

other then the bend, the length and mounting points on all were identacle.

 

line the LCA's next to each other.. if all the holes don't line up correctly then one of them is bent.

 

I have seen both straight and bent on civic/integras - they are interchangeable (all the bolt holes line up in the same place on both arms)

I can see why its done that way.... if you hit a curb, the LCA will fold up, rather than transfer the impact to the subframe, which is a bit harder to replace.
