As it states, I have an 88 DX, the model with the pain in the *** suspension that makes it hard to find struts for the rear for a decent price. I have 2 rear tokico's from an 89-91 but they obviously dont fit. I was curious, could I swap in stock 89-91 LCA's without a problem or do I need the whole rear suspension? OR what LCA's could I use that would be easy to come across without breaking my wallet. Please any help would be great. Thanks!

 

yes any 89-91 control arms will work, you might as well get si ones, this way if you decide to upgrade to a rear swaybar the mounting holes on the arm are already there

 

I don't think it's a pain in the but to find anything for it, but yes, you can swap over the LCA's.

 

thanks guys... I appreciate the help!!

but can I use EF Civic Si LCA's or do they have to be CRX???

 

Civic's should work. Heck I have ITR LCA's.

 

If I keep these 88 DX LCA's are there any other type of struts I can use besides model specific... I have seen some posts that say that integra struts will fit into the 88 LCA's, but a definate answer would be great. What are some suspension options that I have? thanks in advance for the help.

Correct, it is a direct swap!

There are quite a few companies that make the 88 style rear struts, just look around. They do cost a bit more though.

 

yea I have noticed the high cost... do you know if integra or any other model honda struts will fit into the 88 LCA's??

ITR rear shocks will fit, if you buy them through say Bilsteein they use the same part number for the ITR and 88 CRX rear shocks.

I wouldn't recommend it, the Integra arms are longer.
