Can I use a DA Integras lower control arm?
I was just wondering if I could use the DA integras LCA to be able to put the newer type of shocks as apposed to the crx stock shocks because i'm gonna be doing the rear disc brake conversion? And if there's anything thing else I have to know please tell me.

geometry is bad. theyll fit, but you dont want the changes that will occur.
use 92-95 eg rear lca if you really cant get ef lca. theyre pretty much identical.

Hold up now. Only the '88 CRX's have the stamped rear LCA. Just get '89-'91 EF LCAs. Should be hella easy to find.

I have 2 sets of si arms with sway bar holes. One set has pretty new poly bushings, the other set needs bushings(I have a new set of poly not installed as well) make an offer if you need them.

the top ones are 88 civic and crx only. 89-91 had the lower arm. they are the same performance, just different shock mounting.
just find some 89-91 control arms, or 92-95 civic ones if you want. junkyard, classifieds, whatever. new ones are about $140 for the pair from online dealers, iwth new bushings.

Tyson is right. '88s are the stamped (top pic), and '89-'91 are the cast (bottom pic). Both are Civic/CRX rear LCA's.
And if you want to run the suspension techniques (or possibly others) sway bar, you'll definitely want the '89-'91 (cast) LCA's. Any junkyard will have them.

What if I got the LCA's off of a Honda Del Sol? Would it still work the same? Would this be better than using the DA LCA's?
