Default Front lower control arm question: are DAs the same length/size as 90 CRX Si???

I am having issues with my recently aquired B16 powered '90 CRX Si. I know the R/F LCA is bent and needs to be replaced and in about 3 weeks I will have front spindles and brakes from a 92 DA integra and right now I have access to a LCA from the DA. Is there any size/lenght difference between the two LCAs?? If they are the same that means I will save some money since I do not have a good CRX R/F LCA yet. I can't get to the shop until Mon and since that is where all my tools/lift and parts are I won't be able to experiment until then. I am hoping somebody here knows the answer since the search turned up nothing for me.

Well since nobody else seems to know .....or care??? The DA's are definetely longer a little bit and the ball joint hole is bigger which means you have to run the DA LCA if you run the DA front spindles. This reply is just for anybody else that may not have this info and wants it.

oh NOW you guys chime in j/k

That's interesting to hear, the truth is the salvage yard sent me 2 LCAs since they were not sure which I needed. one was obviously the CRX and the other one was as I described and I can't think of another car that it would come from seeing as how close to the EF it was. I don't know what car exactly this came off of (I don't see how it's not a DA though??) so maybe I'm wrong, I will have to pull a LCA off one of the DAs in our lot so I can know for sure but I am curious to find out whats up w/ this. I will keep you guys posted

I had a 90 EF 4 door with DA spindles on EF control arms. Didn't have no play at all..
