Yep he is right. The only difference between an 88 and 89-91 is the LCA"lower control arm". You could either try buying a lca or just send the kit back.

 

That's unfortunate news.
It's annoying that Honda did that, the '90 Si LCA's and the '91 DX LCA's are different too. 91 DX don't connect to the sway bar; so i had mine fabricated so it did.

 

na bro 88 is different...just send em back n get the right ones..

 

I have an extra LCA I would sell but I kinda wanted to sell them with the suspension.

 

actually i have friend that will probly sell his extra set of factory ones. ill talk to him after i get off of work if you want

 

dont put 88 control arms on
just send the struts back and get the correct ones.

 

y not? the 88 arms are actually the better designed arms for performance driving.

not worth replacing factory control arms with arguably better factory arms when he can just get the right struts for his car.

the "performance" of the two is exactly the same.

the mount the same way. they have the same dimensions between inner nad outer bushings. no difference other than shock mounting.
