Got a question.
I bolt up everything but the compensator arm seems to be short? (DA)
Will not bolt on.
is the CRX and teg the same length?

Remove the DA Compensator arm from the swap. You will want to use your Stock C-arm. Don't remove your C-arm from the frame, see the diagram on first page. Use only the Rear Trailing Arm from the DA.

If you use the C-arm from the DA, you will create a ridiculous amount of Toe in at the wheels. //___\\ <--looking down at the wheels or from the roof.

Good luck.

resurrection. I think you should be able to, if you can put in GSR parts, I cannot see why all suspension parts shouldn't work.

Bump this alive...peeps are asking about doing their rear DA swap onto their Hatch and sedans.

PM me if you need help.

damn I did da rear disc brakes in my 95 civic hatch and I used the rear c arm like you were saying the wheels look weird and I cant even drive my car keep it under control its impossible for me to steer it i think it has something to do with the suspension but i am going to try to change that c arm first and see if that helps or I might just put it all back to stock

Rememeber, You should carefully inspect or compare the the 2 control arms. I'm sure the control arm that I had on my 91 sedan is very different from your 95 civic. So if your 95 is a little shorter than the DA, then you need to use your stock ones. I hope you were able to figure it all out.

So how does this swap affect performance??? I have been hearing that there isn't a noticeable difference. I would love to hear your comments.

I've swapped 91 Si's to drum... I also run the 87 HF aluminum drums, it's a good deal lighter than a disc setup. I can't imaging the rear brakes needing to be disc for any real performance reason. Even with 11" front discs, rear drums were keeping up to my race track demands.

Canadian_EF · 05-24-2009, 11:31 PM

wow, never knew of this write up.
ok, so do these same tips work for installing rear disks on a 1988 crx si?
