you can take the rear trailing arm with hubs/rotors/calipers, but keep the crx upper/lower control arms and compensator arm. I think if you use the teg lca, you will have to use the teg sway bar, but the hub will stick out about a 1/4" on each side and neg camber will be increased. Could cause wheel well rubbing issues as well as tire wear. I'm not completely sure about the front, so i'll let someone else chime in on that.

Almost 100% positive the itr and eg fronts are interchangeable...and I know the eg fronts do not fit on efs.

what part of the ITR "suspension" do you want to use? shocks? control arms? knuckles?

looks like another 96 suspention question. lol

for the front. USE ONLY the knuckle. thats it. everything else you need EF ( as in lower control arm, keep your steering arm and keep you upper control arm) . for the rear. its like doing rear disk. its super easy!

No the rear will fit on all crx's. Like wutang said its like swapping over any rear discs from another compatible honda. If you are talking about the 88 crx Lower control arms then you will need the shocks to fit those control arms. The 88 crx's and the type R's have the same LCA's.

Wu tang if a car with the R knuckles isn't lowered as much as your car will there be positive camber? What I mean is that if a crx with R Knuckles was at stock height there will be + camber and as it is lowered the camber will become negative. As with lowering any car the camber becomes -. Am I right in assuming that.

and I know the eg fronts do not fit on efs.

i was running 92 civic front knuckles for a few months on my 88 crx.while i was building up my ef knuckles with extended wheel studs and new bearings. you have to get an alignment though when using eg knuckles because it is a big difference in the toe. i have type r gab sport shocks on the rear with im thinking to be an integra compensating arms. i had to lower it to the lowest setting just to get my camber to zero in the rear otherswise it was positive
