is the front lower controll arm the same as the Civic one? I have a bent one and I wonder if I can go to the junky yard and buy a used Civic arm

nope.. at least not on the the hatchbacks, that's for sure.. look for any picture of my R and how it rides like a 4x4 up front.. i have civic front LCAs at the moment.. Also, there is no mounting points for the swaybar stuff..

FWIW, other trim levels of integra, and the civic Si's would probably work.. but I do not think they are shaped the same..

 

u have to replace the arm when doing a swap onto a civic.

that may be.. but a civic arm will fit on a type R.. I know, because I have it right now..

 

I didn't replace any arms when swapping an R into my civic. It fell right in. While looking at the rear LCA's between a civic and ITR I would think the fronts would be way different just as the rear.

 

What year civic are we talkin about?? The 92-95 would bolt up, some lack the sway bar mounting points and have mushy bushings. As for the 96 up LCA that is a good question, I have an Si one up stairs I will take a pic for comparison purposes... BRB

 

from what people have told me the 92-95 civic front and rear suspension(only if front and rear including shocks, springs, knuckle assemblies, UCAs [upper control arms] & LCAs) will bolt right up to an itr. if using itr lca's, you must have the itr shocks and springs. i think the uca's will work though. now as for the 96-00, i have no idea but ppl have told me that it 96-00 suspension will bolt up to itr (how true that is i have no idea, havent tried that).

 

Yeah thats for an 92-95 civic. Not sure on 96-00 Civics but Austrian look for a 92-95 civic arm, should be pretty cheap.
