The DA will stick out like 1/8" further than the Si.

The actual trailing arm is identical, but the hub assembly is slightly different and accounts for the ~1/8" difference.

Good to know, thanks man. I already have the DA front swap w/ master cylinder, brake booster and prop. valve, Do think I should install before I get the rear brakes (I know someone selling the Crx Si rears)? I'll be doing a motor swap in about a week, so I figured it be easier while I'm at it...But I don't want my stock rear drums to lock up everytime I brake hard. Should of made another post, just curious if you'd happened to know

Do the MC and BB before or during the motor swap, if you get a B-series it will be a bitch to do it after you do the swap.

Thanks, That's what I'd figured...easier install with less headaches, I'll go ahead and swap that out b4 I drop the ls in. Should I wait to put on the DA front brakes until I get the rear discs as well? Or just put the DA front brakes on while I'm the ls motor swap and leave the stock rear drums in the back?

its good to do all the brakes at once. that way you only have to bleed the lines once.
