hey i just put a rear disc conversion on my 89 crx si from a da and went to get an alignment and when there where setting the toe in the back the toe is pushed out as far as it will go and it is still slightly toed in.my question is are you suppose to use the crx or da toe arm things i think there called compensater arms. anyway's the arm that connects the trailing arm to the chassis where you set the toe do i use the stock crx one or the da one that came with my rear disc because the arm needs to be about couple inches longer. i don't have my stock crx arm anymore can i use one from any ef with drums in the back. any help would be appreciated.

 

From what I understand from the response to my brake post, you do need the CRX compensator arm. As long as the compensator arm from a CRX(disc or drum), it should work. I don't believe the trailing arms changed much between disc and drum.

 

The only thing you use from the Integra is the actual trailing arm. EVERYTHING else you use will be from your stock application. I believe psychomidgit is correct in that you can use it from a disck or drum application, as long as it's from an EF!

As long as you do this, your alignment will come out perfect. The DA trailing arms will make your wheels push towards the outside about 1-2mm, but unless you are slammed and with really wide tires this will cause you no issues.

 

use which ever arm is longer...i dont remember off hand but when i did my conversion i had the same problem. Use the longer ones...

 

use the crx ones. actually it's best not to mess with those when doing your rear disc brake conversion. if you just unbolt them from the trailing arm and not from the body, your toe will not be affected. obviously too late for that but hopefully it will help if you do another one in the future. good luck.

Wouldnt a bit of negative toe make the car handle better? And yea - at the possibility of uneaven tire wear.
