if your car is 89-91 they will.i ahve an 88 crx and the rear strut is diff. than 89-91.the 88 has the strut that goes inside the lca but the later models ahve the strut that has the fork that goes over the lca.make sense?

JDM CRX's, 88 CRX's, and Integra type-R's all have rear "box type" lower control arms. (The strut goes INSIDE the LCA)

So your blox LCA wont fit, unless they're designed specifically for those 3 models!

i herd that blox is aight~ but skunk 2 are really good! and yest, the function 7's are awesome! also from what i herd that if the shock, coil over etc goes into the lca like the type r's, this is the best as handling is much better? but the blox should fit ur car, no prob!

you want a bad *** lca get a PIC race ready

spherical bearings ftw

http://picperformance.com/stor...t=202


or if your broke get the regular lca still nice

http://picperformance.com/stor...t=108


other then that like every one said the lca that function 7 makes for the itr are nice but they give you negative camber since the length is designed for a integra and not a civic

as far as the blox i had a set they were nice but i ended up trading them and going with the box type lca off an sir like the 88 style it is a better weight savings then the blox

if they use integra sizes on an civic the camber is going to be off they should be diffrant part numbers unless the extra -2 or -3 degresse is going to work for you

like someone else said.. civic and integra lca's are the same length.. and they work... I've got them on my ef.. as well as m-factory's toe adjusters and camber adjusters..

interesting note.. these LCA's are within factory specs, not shorter by any means.. Don't expect them to help with camber on a lowered car, but that's what the camber adjusters are for anyways

there is a diffrance pull stock ones off a teg and stock off a civic


http://www.ef-honda.com/ben/EFhybridsus.php

read that


or here ill copy and past from it

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by ef-honda.com &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">

Rear LCA:
If you have an 88, your car has the "box in" type lower control arms. These aren't bad by any means, they are even lighter than any of the solid cast LCA's that all of the rest of civic/integra family uses. But it may be tough to find good aftermarket shocks that fit inside them. Or maybe you just want to use some readily available shocks or shocks you got a good deal on. If you plan to use shocks for an 89-91 civic/crx then you need to swap out the LCA's.

You can obviously use 89-91 LCA's. But it should be noted that some models didn't come with a sway bar and so they don't have the threaded holes for the sway endlinks. So try and get some with the threaded holes. If you don't, you will regret it later.

You can also use EG rear LCA's. They are the exact same length and all I've seen have had the holes for the sway bar links.

You can use DC and DA LCA's. But they are a 1/16" longer so you will end up with more negative camber in the rear. If you use these it would be wise to then switch to integra UCA's. Then at least your camber will stay the same.

Rear UCA:
There isn't a whole lot to this. The EG and EF upper control arms are the same length. The DA and DC UCA's are 1/16" longer. You can use them as cheap camber correction if you have EF/EG LCA's. </TD></TR></TABLE>


so if the arm is made for a teg and put on a civic it will have more negative camber if its made from a civic and put on a teg it will have positive camber just becouse they bolt up doesnt meen they are the exact same size

you are talking 1.59mm

1/16th of an inch

and by the way, what are the factory tolerances? I believe that cars come with adjustability built in to make up for small differences so that an alignment may done. do you get what I'm saying?.. I'm not arguing with you, I just think the difference in length is negligible and can be adjusted for using factory parts (although I'm using aftermarket camber and toe adjusters)

from the mfactory site again:
"Within OEM spec for direct replacement of factory LCA's "

I can measure when I get to the house the lengths of the different arms.. I have factory STD civic arms (no swaybar holes) , DA integra arms, SPC arms, and my currently installed mfactory arms.
