Default Are EF 89-91 Rear LCA same as 92+ Civic LCA?

Wondering if the 92 and onward civic rear lower control arms are the exact same as the 89-91 CRX control arms. and which 92+ civics came with the rear sway bar link on the arm? EX/Si only?

looking to replace my 88 stamped pieces but would like to retain the rear sway bar links. ebay sells those crappy aluminum LCA and lists them for later civics and crx so i figured the stock ones might be the same.

Edit it and say you need Si arms only.

Also this place claims to have the LCAs too, $20 each: http://www.stoneysautosalvage.com/

I know that the 88~91 and the 92~95 are interchangable.
I mean that they weill bolt in to either chassis without any mods and stuff.

I don't know if they are the same as far as sholck placement though.
They probably are.

I am running 1999 ITR rear LCAs in my 91. It's a common change for EG's to do the same so they can JDM coilovers with the different shock mount.

92+ LCA AND UPA are 1/16" longer. getting just a LCA will give u camber.

92+ compensator arms are SHORTER.

they are not hard to find at all. I just sold a pair of 90 CRX SI LCA for $35 shipped. not that expensive either.

Actually, they are all the same length, except the EK.

We've CMM'd all of them down to 5 microns.

Cheers!

Does anyone know if the swaybar hole locations are the same?
