Default Axle help for Ls swap into eg hatch

So in time, I'm doing a Ls swap into my eg hatch, but people say you need axles from the acura?
So what do they exactly mean? How will you fit acura axles into the eg? What actions do i have to take?

Please&ThankYou.

Are you sure you researched this swap correctly? If you're swapping then the chassis makes no difference. In this case use the axles for the swap. You know you're also swapping the transmissions out as well right?

Follow directions and you should get the swap done with no problems.

Yes, I'm getting a tranny swap also. But people say I cannot use my d series axles and that I would have to axles from the ls?

That is correct.

Are you following some swap guide or are you making this up as you go?

I've been just reading off of what people are asking.
If you can find me a proper ls swap into 95 eg swap guide, that would be great! I'm just having no luck finding everything I need for the swap

WHAT????!!
"At this point, you can put the 1994-2000 Integra axles/midshaft into the car.

After that is done, re-attach all your suspension bits, get your wheels back on, tighten up your axle nuts and punch them back down so they won't back off."

Seems plain enough to me and I've never done a swap before.

The Civic is front wheel drive so you'll have two axles up front, one for each wheel. The transmission has a hole on each side (one on the driver-side and one on the passenger-side) for the axles to fit into. Each transmission has different "holes" that will only accept specific axles. Because each engine/transmission has different physical dimensions, the axles that go with that engine/transmission are usually different lengths compared to other engines/transmissions as well. One end of each axle fits into the transmission, the other ends connect to your existing Civic gear just the way it sits now. Don't touch anything on your Civic unless it needs replacing. Good luck!

Stop browsing through the write up and actually sit down and read it. Once you've done that, go make some lunch, then read it again. Clean your house/apartment, then read it a third time. Seriously, Grumblemarc is really trying to help you here, but he can't help you if you won't help yourself.

Does the guide say anything, anywhere about spindles, wheel hubs, lug nuts, or anything past the axle? If you still aren't sure, you'll need some mint ITR 5 lug wheels. They have to be mint, or they'll blow the transmission through the passenger compartment. Good luck hunting!

Hey man take it easy, everybody was once "that guy" asking questions about a particular swap, that's the very core purpose of this forum.

...And everybody knows only 4x100 rotas will blow your transmission.
