Default DA trailing arms for 98 EK hatch track car

Hello everyone,

Before I get excited on the scored parts, I wanted to check with the experts: would the DA Integra trailing arm with 85 mm bushings work on an EK hatch for track usage? I know the DA arms are a bit wider which honestly should be better for track usage but wanted to double check to see if folks run into any issues?

Its worse for track use? Why would you want the rear of a front wheel drive car more stable? You want to try to get the car to rotate better.

that makes sense, but could I eliminate the problem by using spacer in the front and adjusting the toe and camber in the back with the adjustable links? I have not come across any dc2 arms unfortunately, I ended up buying two sets of the same arms

You know you can just swap the spindles over to your Civic arms, right? Can’t ration why you’d want to limit your bushing options for something that would be doable and tunable with wheel spacers.
