Hi Everyone! I recently bought a 1999 CX Harch from a kid who turned it into a spec racer. He swapped an D16Y8 from a 98 EX. One of the reasons I bought it is because it needed a new subframe and transmission, which I was able to track down pretty easily. For the subframe, I ended up getting a 1995 Integra GSR subframe from a coworker. Obviously I know the steering rack has to come from a civic or integra from that vintage, but I had a question about the lcas. In the posts I’ve seen, I know the rear bushings have to be changed to DC2/EG rear bushings, but I’ve only seen mixed things about the LCAs, on whether the original ek ones fit or nah. I’m going to get all new arms and stuff from RockAuto in the next week or so. I ended up getting some Integra front knuckles from my local u pull it with a both front and rear swaybars. I’ve got some work cut out for me this winter, but I’m super stoked to get started. I just need these new parts before I put it all together! Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Cheers, Matthew
You will need LCA's from a '92-95 Civic or '94-01 Integra including the compliance bushings. You will also need a rear "T" bracket from a '92-95 Civic. The rack would have to be a P/S rack to fit directly on the subframe... and if you wanted to use a Civic manual rack, you could get the bracket conversion from NRG Tech.

So, here's the parts list I have that I'll be ordering here in a bit, most of it is from rockauto. Gotta love the free magnets they give ya with your order lol.
Front Suspension/Knuckles MEVOTECHGS20304 MEVOTECHGS20305
(Control Arms) MEVOTECHGS60400 MEVOTECHGS60401
(Compliance Bushings) AAE4223N (Steering Rack) SKPSK510030

(Currently the snaprings in the front knuckles I plan to swap over are missing or just have rotted away, gotta love the Wisconsin Winters lol) POWER STOPKCOE690
(Yes, they are for a 96-00 Civic EX, but the division I plan to race in does not allow Drilled and Slotted Rotors, I know this since I got Dq'd for having them on.)
I should also mention I did get a little u joint thing from an integra steering column last time I was at the yard. I might be going back today since it's close to my college and the weather is ok today.
