my base model 89 dx came with the threads you just have to make sure what ever arms you use that they have those threads

you can use intergra da or dc2 arms *** long as they have those threads you will have a wider track thought i forgot how much wider

So by installing Da, etc. arms and increasing the track how will that effect suspension geometry. Providing a longer/adjustable upper arm is installed and an alignment is performed.

as long as you use LCAs from an Integra or 88-95 civic, your track width will not increase

dont use a DA rear lower control arm. the shock bushing is in a different location.

DC or EG is fine to use on a EF.

you will need the ones with the swaybar holes tho.

new control arms from honda are less than $150/pr.
