I have the rear disc swap parts from a 91 DA including the lower arms and sway bar. The control arm bushings are jacked on the DA parts so I need to hold off on doing the complete swap till I can afford the honda or pro-thane bushings.

My question is, I want to put the sway bar on this weekend. Can I just swap the lower arms out or am I going to run into an alignment issue?

 

The DA lca will bolt up although they're slightly longer than your existing lcas.
You won't have alignment issues unless you use DA compensator arms.

 

they say they're slightly longer, but i put bolts through both the holes, and they weren't. the outsides were longer, but that is just the casting on the mold. the actual bushings are the same distance on the da arms.

other thing, you have to be able to bolt it to the underside of the car...

 

Bolt to bolt they are abount 1 or 2mm longer. But that could just be the bushings that I had. I took a side by side pic of them. The only thing majorly different (besides the sway bar mount) is that the shock mount angle is different. So I think the rear of my car may be slightly taller now... not sure.

I'm going to put the sway bar on this weekend, my dx actually has the threaded bolt holes for it on the body.




civic DX on the left, integra on the right.

 

i forgot about that.

the schock mount difference, that decreases the leverarm that she strut has on the control arm, thus effectively reducing your spring rates by a little bit. i have da arms in my car, i don't notice much difference. i would like stiffer springs back there, though.

 

It doesnt seem like it affected the ride height at all. So far so good. I'll mount the sway bar later this weekend. Need to replace an axle now.... noticed it last night.
