Default Rear lower control arms compatibility

1991 Honda Civic DX body w/ 92 vtec D16Z6

Does anyone know what rear lower control arms will fit on the 91 civic dx body style?

As an example, would the 4wd civic rear lower arms fit properly on the the 91 dx body style? What other years and models are compatible with the dx body style? Preferably stock parts, the car already has “lowered” rear lower control arms and it’s not what I’m wanting for my car.

EF, EG, and DC pretty much line up the same.

DA rear control arm has the rear shock mount in a different place. Not a big deal, but don't see a reason to use it when there's other arm options.

The real differentiator is the rear sway bar mount for a stock Si rear sway bar.

Thank you for the link that helped me out, although now I’m thinking I should have given more information.

Currently the car has 1.5” spacer on the shock/strut mounts (I drive dirt roads frequently and I’m also going for an “off-road/utility” look and build, while trying to keep everything as stock as possible. So the rear shocks and springs are aftermarket Bilstein shocks and MOOG rear coil springs. If I use DA arms with that affect my shocks since the mount is in a different location? I’m having a hard time finding a set of rear lower arms for my car on rockauto or other stores, on top of not really knowing anything about Honda’s.

Without giving you a yes or no answer, I think you should have the information to answer your own question.

Post a pic and it'll be clearer.
