Hi so I’m going to replace my rear lower control arms because I’m replacing the cheap eBay coils with oem shocks and the oem shocks won’t fit the aftermarket control arms that I have on at the moment so I need to buy an oem control arm. and on the autozone website, the one for the Si is around $150 each where as the other arms for the lx/dx/ex models are $85 and $110. My question is they all look pretty much the same and the site says they’ll all fit my car so was wondering what’s the difference between all three choices?

again, they all look the same and I see no noticeably differences.. which one should I get? If I can get away with buying the cheapest ones I’d do it.. sorry it’s such a noob question but I don’t know which route to go... any advice is much appreciated thank you!!

There really is not a way to be 100% sure it's the proper control arm from pictures alone. You would need the exact measurement specs to know without a doubt.

To be honest, all 3 should fit the car. That all appear to be the straight version and all say they will fit a 92ish to 95ish 1.5 and 1.6 liter.

The cheapest option is made in Japan, the most expensive is made in Canada or USA. The middle option at 110 bucks appears to be the integra control are with rear sway bar provisions, however it should be a direct fit.

The 96-00 Civics had a different width bushing setup. I think narrower. That is the likely area to be a problem is the bushing sleeve width.

 

Okay, I’ll try the cheapest one first. Thanks for the feedback

 

only difference between the 92-95 civic and 94-01 integra, excluding type, r is whether or not the holes for sway bar are there

 

... also if it has the provision for ABS.

 

True

I think the 94 eh3\si's are the only one of the hatches in the US to be seen with with ABS, at least as long as I have been on this forum, I could be wrong though.

my 92 and 93 both had unused orange plugs on the bay harness near the lower driver side shock tower

 

Here's an old useful file:

 

Just wanted to say thank you for all of y’all helps. My control arms just came in the mail and im planning to replace those pretty soon I’ll let you guys know if there are any hiccups or not
