Default DC knuckles on a CRX ????

i have a set of DC knuckles off a GSR.. will they work on my EF .. i have skunk upper control arms and an edt traction bar for adjustments .. i imagin this should work because i have seen people running 5 lugs on efs which comes of a DC right .. i put them on my car a while back but immediately took them off because it set the camber and toe way out of spec .. but now im thinking that the new upper control arms will help bring that in a little

any help is appreciated and i would really like to run these because 1 i already have them and 2 i need to replace my pads and rotors on my current set up and the dc ones are new pads and the rotors just need to be turned

also the DC knuckles have brand new axles on them which makes them a little more desirable

thanks for your help in advance

top of wheels

The geometry of all the angles just dont work with our chassis... one of the worst being the insane positive camber they give you. even slammed 3 inches you'd probobly still have positive camber - not very cool

No.

DA or EF only.
To further clarify, these are the knuckles that will maintain geometry: Any 90-93 USDM Specification Integra with the following model level RS/LS/GS/GS-R; Any 1988-1991 Civic/CRX exc. Wagon with the following model level: HF/DX/LX/EX/Si.

Of course you can, just have to press the hub out and press 5 lug hub in. But why in the world would you limit your wheel selection for 5 lug.

You can do it. I have DC knuckles on my car. With the Skunk2 camber kit you will be fine.

I just read your other post and you said you thought they might be DA. Either way you can make anything work. Just as long as you get the alignment done proper you will be set.

it will work...all you have to do is adjust the tie rods, and get a camber kit, the new style, that is the upper control arms, NOT JUST the ball joint. i have the knuckles from a dc integra on my ef with skunk2 upper control arms. it rides beautifully once you get an alignment from a shop. and stops on dime.

i also temporarily used EG knuckles on the same car with the same camber kit and it worked just fone with an eye-balled alignment that i did in 10 minutes. so "to further clarify" yes it will work...
