Default Important: What should I tell the DriveShaftShop? I am doing a B16a swap into an ED6.

This is very important to me, and beg for everyone's patience such that they read the entire post.

I was thinking of buying a set of axles from the DriveShaftShop for my B16a swap. I have a 91 (ED6) Civic HB DPFI with the small spline axle ends. The most common thing to do is to replace the ED6's knuckle assembly with the 90-93 Integra knuckle assembly and then use the 90-93 Integra axles.

What I want to know is, is the axle length the same whether I use the Integra knuckles or the existing knuckles? In other words, if I keep the ED6 knuckle assembly, would the Integra axles still be the proper length, or does the ED6 hub make the Integra axle either too short or too long? I need to be able to give the DriveShaftShop an axle length so they can make me the proper axles. I am tired of wrecking yards and want a direct install axle kit. I've done a swap before, and I want this one to be just as straightforward.

Thanks in advance!

They are the same length yes but wtf? Why not just get the teg or 88-91 si knuckles and use the stock teg axles?

I don't know man, I just hate going to wrecking yards. However, I could find some off of Ebay.

Will the DA knuckles bolt right up to my ED6 without modification or any other necessary parts? Just a direct replacement?

Thankyou for replying! I really appreciate it!

I need more info than that. Do they have an axle set that will allow me to keep the ED6's small spline knuckle assembly, but also be able to swap in a B16a?

Raxles.com

will make whatever you ask for.

you are really being sutbborn by not upgrading the hubs which would give you the spline count you need to run 90-91 non abs teg axles which can be had for cheap anywhere.

so instead of doing any legwork you pay triple.

you ask "do they have...etc etc" no they dont.

they will make them once you ask for it, since no one else requires the lower spline counter outters welded to the 90-91 acura inners, which is what they will do, by the way.
