Default Are integra tie rods longer than civics?

I put integra front LCAs on my hatch and i already have integra knucles/disc brakes on there and my front wheels are toed-out really far, my tie rods are about to fall off my steering rack because i have them adjusted as far as i can go, but i still have a little toe out. Will integra tie rods fix this?

I think when I did my teg disc swap I checked into that. I do beleive they are the same thing. I kept the civic lowers though and invested into a camber kit for up top. I have no issues. As far as toe out, are you going by eyesight or a digital alignment rack like a hunter or equivalent?

you dont need the LCA's from the teg, Just the knuckles. use your civic ones. As far as the knuckles the position compared to the civics tend to toe them out more than one would like. Just take it to an alignment shop. Good luck!

I put integra LCAs on because my friend gave them to me with brand new bushings in them and my civic ones are thrashed, lol. I measure the length of each one side by side and they're damn near indentical. I can eyeball the alignment for now, I did it when I put the teg knuckles on a long time ago. Im nervous about the tie rod ends though, but since the control arms are the same length i should even adjust the toe, right? Im confused...

I hear you on the alignment. There is a write up on how to do it with some string and some jack stands. Look it up. its fairly simple. I cant say for sure that the LCA's between the civic and the teg are diff or same. If i remember correctly the problem with m ine is that they were toed out way to much.
