Default calling all suspension/brake guru's...

searched... but found conflicting info. I am puttin 95 GSR rear disc on my 96 DX hatch. what control/compensating/toe arms do i use? I have searched but i find different answers. do i use all(3) of the integra arms? do i use some civic and some teg? I have compared the arms and they all look the same length but the integra lower control arm looks beefier, the other two look identical. Also, i want to replace all the bushings but only find a kit for the integra? I have found the trailing arm bushing for civic but all of the other bushings(control arm's etc.) i only find in integra. Please help with what i am supposed to use! Thanks...

im not sure as to what bushings to use, but all suspension arms are the same except for the one you know, the Lower Control Arm.

Use your stock toe and U/L control arm. As for bushing use the kit for your the 96-00 civic. If you plan to change the trail arm bushing(which recomand you should) us OEM Honda.

also i was wondering doesnt the civic LCA have no provisions for a sway bar? and if the LCA's are the same (i say the same because a replacement from megan or skunk2 is the same for both cars) wouldn't i be better to use the one from the integra to add a sway bar later?
