far as i have heard no they will not, and yes they're some aftermarket one's made by vision, but be prepaired to pay well over $650.00 for them.

i've got a set of neuspeed's, got those for bout 120 for both sides. I think i got ripped off but at least their name brands. Just search for "camber kits civic88-91" on google or something, their out there

i tried googling once and all i found was the vision's, but that had to be way over a year ago i found those, and i never knew neuspeed made a whole upper control arm for the 88-91 civic's.

I have heard from several places that 88-00 Front suspension is all the same just looking for some conformation

absolutely NOT.

there was a MAJOR change after 91 in the front suspension. they are not interchangable.

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by jspeczcturbo &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">i tried googling once and all i found was the vision's, but that had to be way over a year ago i found those, and i never knew neuspeed made a whole upper control arm for the 88-91 civic's.</TD></TR></TABLE>

the cambers i have are not the whole a-arm assembly. What I have is the actual anchor bolts that are adjustable, not the whole a-arm assembly.. the 2 anchor bolts are adjustable +1 degree to +3 degree's, then there are -3 to 0 degree's. I have 17's on my car so i needed the +1 degree to +3 degree. for like 14's and 15's get the 0 to -3 degrees, and 17's and 18's get the +1degree to +3 degree. search neuspeed. I got mine like 4 years ago though. Hop eyou find em. Skunk made some camber bolts also.

what good answer do you want? they are not interchangeable.

first of all, the bolt space is totally off. 92+ are wider. second of all, 88-91 A arms are assymetric. 92+ are symetrical. using the later arms on a crx would totally **** up caster, even if it were possible.

but... you go ahead and try and report back to us...

if you have the adjustable bolts and the adjustable a-arm, what about your fender, your gonna have to cut it and put suport welds in to keep it from flexing. I have my a-arm barely touching my inner fender. Its still not even true, but, I've had my tires for two years, and put bout 40,000 miles on them, and they still have inner tread left.
