so hey i ve got an 88 crx and i just recently purchased tein s tech and 89-91 tokiko blues gas shocks. the tokiko blues wont fit becase of the lower control arms. does any one know who makes lower control arms for the rex. i overheard that the eg lca will fit on the rex as well. thank you !!

 

are you referring to the rear control arms? if so, (someone please correct me if im wrong) i believe the 88 civic/crx have a different style rear LCA

 

yeah sorry im am talking about the rear lca. will the eg rlca fit the crx

 

you gotta use the search feature man.

Rear LCA:
If you have an 88, your car has the "box in" type lower control arms. These aren't bad by any means, they are even lighter than any of the solid cast LCA's that all of the rest of civic/integra family uses. But it may be tough to find good aftermarket shocks that fit inside them. Or maybe you just want to use some readily available shocks or shocks you got a good deal on. If you plan to use shocks for an 89-91 civic/crx then you need to swap out the LCA's.

You can obviously use 89-91 LCA's. But it should be noted that some models didn't come with a sway bar and so they don't have the threaded holes for the sway endlinks. So try and get some with the threaded holes. If you don't, you will regret it later.

You can also use EG rear LCA's. They are the exact same length and all I've seen have had the holes for the sway bar links.

You can use DC and DA LCA's. But they are a 1/16" longer so you will end up with more negative camber in the rear. If you use these it would be wise to then switch to integra UCA's. Then at least your camber will stay the same.

Rear UCA:
There isn't a whole lot to this. The EG and EF upper control arms are the same length. The DA and DC UCA's are 1/16" longer. You can use them as cheap camber correction if you have EF/EG LCA's.

socalrex88, you may want to hang on to those 88 crx lca's...my .02, the 88 crx rear lca's are actually plus in my book. doublethink is right-on about your lca's. if you look at pics and compare. the 88 crx lca's are actually very similar to the integra type-r rear lca's. i've seen posts on honda-tech that your 88 crx lca's will work w/ aftermarket itr shocks. i actually have both lca's (the 88 crx & itr) and the only difference i found was that the itr lca's were wider and the 88 crx lca's were narrower. the 88 crx lca's also have mountings for sway bars too


*if you want to save a few bucks, the 94-00 OEM integra rear lca will work & has sway bar mounts as well
