Default 1992 Civic Si w/ 5lug - what allignment specs and Bushing kit?

1992 civic si with a 5 lug setup. I bought the car with the swap that's why I don't know about which components were taken from the R.

What helms alignment specs should I use si or type r?

Same question for bushings - I'm looking at the hardrace kit and I think I shoud get the si kit but I'm not sure.

Thanks

The hardrace kit is good,hardrace seems to make good products. There is also PIC. I have been told the PIC bushings are a bit harder then the hardrace, unfortunately, I can't seem to find any thing to prove or disprove that.

I'm not 100% but I think the front lower controls arms on a eg civic are compatible with dc2 knuckles same with the rear toe and upper control arms with the ITR trailing arms. Your probably going to have to piece the bushings together, front lower control arms, rear toe, rear upper control arm bushings for a EG Civic. Rear trailing arm and rear lower control arm bushings for a ITR.

What about alignment? or should all the alignment specs be pretty much the same?

I would get in contact with PIC/Suja1 i was told they will do custom kits if you ask. Pretty sure the price was the same.

The only difference in your kit will be the rear lower control arms. Everything else is same.

Rear lower control arms are an aftermarket brand, srr. Not sure if they're type r or original eg-SI though... i'm not even sure how to find out.

Just look at them, they are completly different.

The ITR has a eye-let style, and the EG is a fork.

Well you have aftermarket lower controll arms so no worries about those bushings since PIC kit is for oem rears. There aftermarket bushings vary in size brand to brand
