Default Rear LCA Problem


That how my car came stock. Rear tie or sway bar(sorry, i dont know which one it is, i lack a bit of knowlege on car part names in english. but its clearly visible there.) I bought a suspension kit for my car not knowing that USDM EGs came with diferent Rear LCA as the ones here (1/3 jdm 1/3 edm 1/3 usdm )

I was told to use local EK rear LCA but they didint fit.

I was thinking off just buying these. Is it an ok deal? Also, will changing the LCAs interfere with the sway/tie bar?

Any help or any other ideas would be apreciated. Thanx in advance

thanx. Would you get the ones i mentioned or just go with OEM honda? I have to buy them directly from the US anyway so i might as well get some decent ones once and for all.

if that is your car, then your pretty much fucked and have to stay with OEM LCA's unless you have new dampers also.

if you look at the picture of the EBAY dampers then compare them to yours you can see the differenace, on how they mount to the LCA.

now im a little lost on what your asking, but if you want to change your LCA then you have to change your dampers too.

and just an FYI ek and eg suspension aren't interchangalbe. how ever EG and DC suspension's are interchangeable.

i assume you bought new usdm eg style rear shocks. you can buy 94-00 integra (non-type-r) LCA's to use with ur usdm eg shocks and still retain ur sway bar. u can also use integra-r rear shocks (us or jdm) with your stock LCA

look how the shock (yellow thing) in the frist pics is. see how it goes over the top and bolts through the LCA.....

now on yours, your shock, goes inside the LCA. (ITR)

you must stick with ITR LCA's or swap your LCA and shocks, for eg ones...

What suspension pieces did you buy already...

In other words... what are you trying to get on you don't think you'll be able to?

I bought Shocks (Kyb AGX´s) and springs (Pro Kit).
The stock LCAs dont allow me to put the shocks on

Get the LCA's you linked... or stock usdm/jdm 92-95 civic or 94-00 NON-Type R integras and you'll be fine.

The only thing you MAY run into is you may need a new endlink kit for the sway bar.. to attach it to the LCA...

Also keep in mind that stock civic LCA's are not pre-drilled for a sway bar so you'd have to drill and tap threads to mount it...
Integra's should all be pre-drilled/tapped.

no we read what you wrote but no were in there does it say that you bought new dampers (aka shocks/ struts). it says suspension package. now that could mean ALOT of things.

but to answer your question, many of the aftermarket LCA that you find on EBAY have shitty bushings i would suggest some SRR units if you want to get some "bling" ones. if not you will ned to purchase LCA for a DC integra, all of them have the holes for the sway bar.

and thats because the LCA is designed for a different damper. you need 94-01 integra (non ITR) LCA's.

and it should be noticable that you can't but the dampers on those LCA's

Thanx for the info, and sorry for my lack of explanation.

I think i got it down now, so i could just get some teg LCAs and they should bolt right up without having problems with the sway bar.

Its not that i want ¨bling¨ ones, i just thought that since i would have to order them from the US it would be a problem. But hey since i can get DC ones i´ll just run to a junk yard.
