Hey guys,

I have two sets of rear lca's here. I know which set each was claimed to be, but i was wondering if you guys could tell them apart to verify it for me. I had the 'DA' lcas on my car since i did the da integra rear disc swap. I've had problems with my wheels rubbin on the inside of the fender ever since with certain wheels. So i bought the crx si lcas since they are suppose to be 1/8" shorter or whatever.

Heres the pics:



The lca labeled 'A' is the DA and the lca labeled 'B' is suppose to be from a crx si. My observations... lca A was a tad longer from the inside of bushing 1 to 3 than lca B.
But the spacing from bushing 1 and 2 is quite a bit tighter on lca B as compared to 'A'. As pictured here.... (sorta)



So... my question is, would this help solve my rubbing issue with the back wheels? Looks like the bottom of the shock will be father from the center of the car and closer to the wheel, and the overall length of the lca will be a hair shorter...?


edit: you can kind of see the scrape marks on the outside of my tire here:

Well kind of a bump from the dead, but this was the only thread I could find related to my question. I don't think the Integra LCA's change anything camber/toe wise due to the fact that the outer most mounts are the same. Only the shock mount changes, which it would angle the shock inwards more. Has anyone tried running a DA rear LCA on their stock EF say with a sway bar, and had any negative effects??

 

edited till i get my facts straight

 

i have NOT found DA arms to be longer from the outermost bushings.

http://crxcommunity.com/viewtopic.php?t=41148

they are not longer.

 

So the only difference is the compensator arm?
sry for fudging things up, ill edit

 

the DA arm is different in the shock position.

the trailing arm has a larger bushing diameter. the track width might be different in the hubs too, havent confirmed...

the toe link is definitely different.

you really should never use anything other than EF arms on your EF. especially not DA at least.

thanks for editing. unless anyone has exact proof im wrong, again the DA LCA are NOT overall longer (from bushing to bushing). the OP's pic is NOT clear and does not demonstrate they are longer....

 

ill measure and report back in one of these threads
