I'm working on my 91 hatch and here's the problem. Ok, i have swapped my front suspension and brakes for the teg upgrades. The holes that connect the radius bar and the lca do not line up. They are spaced just a little farther on the lca than the bar. Do I need to swap the integra radius bar on? Would getting some aftermarket bars be better and if so which ones would anyone recommend? Thanks in advance.

If you just used the 90-91 teg knuckles(and not the lower control arms...never tried those) you should be able to use your stock bars...I used my stock bars no probs.

What to you mean (a little farther on the lca)??

 

The radius rods are a super tight fit sometimes .....this may be your problem....it makes the holes a *^% to line up.... When recently installing mine with new bushings it took me 2+ hours to wedge them things in correctly without forcing anything.

----try bolting the arms to the LCA's outside of the car, then mount in the LCA/radius rod as a complete unit. It made this a lot easier. Also make sure that all the washers/bushings on the Arm that fit into the crossbeam are facing the correct way, this makes a big differenc (30min added to my install time due to the washer facing the worng way!!)

The trick is, be strong with everything, but dont try to force anything....

 

I have the teg lower control arm and hub assembly. I'm trying to re-use the ef radius bars.

 

any luck cuz im going to be doing the same thing

 

I removed the crossmember and radius bars in favor of jimfab or comparable. With the bars on the car, I couldn't see the bolt holes and they are actually closer on the teg lca's than the ef bars with my application. The solution would have been to use the ef lca's if you run into the same problem.
