D2 Racing LCA

[Bobby]

So i ordered the D2 LCA a while back. I have had time till now to actually install them but ran into a problem.

They dont line up.



Did I order the wrong ones?


I see how they would fit a DC5 (bolt pattern matches up)



Anyone else have these? Or am I just out of luck and sell em?

I'm guessing you have a 02-03? The 04-05 and the rsx use a different lower control arm cause they are 5 lug!

5 lug has absolutely nothing to do with it, there are 3 different bolt patterns for the rear LCA's depending on the application. Honda does not consider these to be a replaceable part and why they use the screwball 10 point torqxe bolt. The trailing arm and LCA are purchased as a single unit.

I have a set of RSX rear LCA's out in the garage as well. I also have a CRV lca that has the third bolt pattern(and the LCA's are all the same length).

Looks like you already know this, but DC5 and EP3 bolt patterns are different on the LCA's.

Huh..... My lower control arms match the rsx...... but my buddys 02 is different. Thats what makes me think the 04-05 ep3 and the rsx share the same lca.

You are correct dude sorry!!!!

[POOPTOOTH]

No apologies necessary buddy! I was just checking for my own use too, I was hoping they were the same, as used RSX lca's are much more abundant.

You can just swap out for the entire trailing arm from a typeS. I have found them rather cheap at salvage yards and then clean them up, paint and swap out for ES bushings plus the new LCA's. Then you are not down forever and a day trying to do an install.

I have type s trailing arms in my garage..... Lol

So i spent some time looking at the Type-S trailing arms and seeing the difficulty of doing the swap but instead. I went ahead and ordered OMNI ones. I really just wanted to have Purple showing under the car.

Ill be posting pics soon.
