I'm getting sick and tired of having my custom (read home made) front crossmember and stock radius rods in the way of my turbo setup, so I've been thinking about fabbing up a new lca setup using 92-95 civic lca's pretty much with the intent of getting rid of the radius rods. Anyone ever heard of someone trying this? Any thoughts or input as to the pro's and con's of trying this out?

 

do you understand suspension geometry and all that ****?

imo, not worth it.

just use a better traction bar setup like full race. yea, its $400 but its better than spending a **** load fo time 'developing' new suspension for an almost 20 year old car...

 

Actually I do understand suspension geometry and spent about 6 years building suspensions for vintage scca sportscars. And if I really wanted a full-race style traction bar, don't you think I'd make one? I'm not your typical beginner at fab'in stuff up.

 

You could make up "curved" radius arms to give added clearance.

As for what you originally talked about; you could think about what it would take to mount a 92 civic sub-chassis. They don't have trailing arms, but that's exactly why traction bars were first thought out (it's a factory design flaw in that they place the lower arm's inner bushings too close together for high performance).

you would need the entire rear sub frame if u want to run eg style, they use a point on the back to traigulate the lca. Kinda like teh ef in the front. IMO too much work goto http://www.full-race.com and be happier
