Default EK rear lower control arms on an EG hatch

Alright, I have tein RA's that are meant to be used on an EK hatch.. so the rear arms don't fit around the bushing. The bushing is about 3/4 of an inch fatter altogether.. i need something with a shorter bushing. I'm going to the junkyard tomorrow and I need to know, WHAT control arms should i get?

I have been told Integra LS arms, GSR arms, and any arms from a 96-00 Civic.

Can anyone tell me if EK LCA's will work on an EG?

Thanks!

(i use EK and EG only as a display of model year.. no i dont have a JDM sir )

they will not work. PERIOD. Wont work at all, ek arms are longer!

What you can do is shave down the bushing on your stock LCA so that the EK shocks will slide over.

You SHOULD get some integ lca's though so you get sway bar mounts, then shave those down.

So integra LCA's will fit..

Any idea if there is a difference in bushing sizes?

Hey where did the anti P-diddy pic go anyways

The DC and EG LCAs are the only ones that will work on your car.

The EK shocks wont fit those LCA's UNLESS you shave the bushing down where the shock slides over the LCA.

I suggest the GSR LCA's because they have swaybar mounting holes while your stockers don't.

But BOTH will have to be shaved.
