Default Rear Lower Control Arm (LCA) Question

Ok so its finally time to drop my dd EF. I got Sprints and GR2's for a steal (not looking for anything super fancy), and just got rubber on a brand new set of polished JMAG's that are just waiting to go on the car.

Figured I'd do the rear first, since theres no point in doing the front of the bolts are seized. Well they were, and SNAP, you know the rest.

Car is a 91 DX. I am looking for an aftermarket LCA to install. Theres no EF specific applications out there besides F7. F7's are real nice, but more then I want to spend for my dd.

Do the EG's LCA's bolt up ok? Has anyone done this? If not I'll just order new ones from Majestic, but going aftermarket for a tad cheaper is always better!

Thanks in advance, (And oh yea, I did search, but could not find a definitive answer).

yes the EG ones will bolt up but they are 1/16th of an inch or so longer so it will throw your camber off a bit. you can throw some washers behind the thing that mounts the top of the trailing arm to the body, just put a washer between the body and ththe 2 bolts in that bracket

That easy?

My alignment guy doesnt belive in shims and camber kits. His motto... expletive it it, if I can heat it, it'll bend.

So all I gotta do is shim the toe rod and I'm set? **** that is butta.
