Icon2 '98 Honda Civic Ex front subframe work on '94-01 Integra?

I'm trying to sell the front lower subframe from my old '98 Honda Civic Ex coupe and a local fella is looking to replace the subframe on his '94-01 Integra. Would mine work on his car? Would just the subframe be needed and then he could hook up his integra lower control arms?

Here is a picture of my '98 Civic Ex subframe.


Thank You & God Bless

It will work, and it will bolt up to his integra, but then he would also need to switch out to the 96-01 civic LCA/compensator arm.

I can't say for sure, but I'm really skeptical as to weather or not a EK front sub-frame would fit an EG/DC. Here is a pic of the EG/DC subframe. Looks vastly different to me. Of course you never know till you try. Please let me know if it does end up fitting. The EK sub-frame seems much stiffer to me...

BTW: Front suspension doesn't have compensator arms...

Thanks 94eg...he ended up finding an Integra subframe so no sale to me.

I don't know why I thought that extra piece going to the control arm was the compensator arm...it's just part of the front control arm.

I'm fairly certain that the ek subframe will fit the eg/dc2. The reason that I say this is because if you are doing a k-swap using the hasport ekk2 mounts, you have to swap your ek subframe with one from a dc2/eg and it is a direct fit.

The issue would be the position of the rear motor mount. That could be a problem.

Thanks...I'll keep that in mind if I have any other buyers.
