Default rear disc problem

1991 CRX Si
okay, so something on the left-rear side of my car is bent, and im changing out the whole suspension on that side, and i was just wondering if i changed it to DA integra, would i have to change both sides or would i be okay just changing out the left side only?

The DA Trailing arm adds about a 1/4" - 1/2" to the wheel base of the car (per side), so if you just add one it may look a little funny. On my sedan with DA trailing arms the rear has about an inch difference then the front with a perfect alignment.

no, you cant interchange the disc brake stuff and put it on a drum brake trailing arm or vice versa.

so your question and answer to the DX and Si trailing arms being the same length does not help you in this case.

you really do need to find 90-91 Si trailing arms. which are kinda rare.

No I don't have pictures but since my car is not operational at this current time I will be glad to try and grab pictures of the rear of the trailing arm. The difference is everything attached to the arm, no more.
