Yes, but it's not just the Si, all 88's have those style rear control arms. Thos LCA make it a bit more agile in the twisties, but it feels kinda "twitchy" as compared to the 89+ stlye LCA. That's the main reason for the change over from the JDM style LCA, US costomers bithced about it.

FYI the USDM ITR uses the saem style LCA, while the other 'tegs don't.
