Check this out.....

I have EF9 rear disc brakes on my 90 civic hatchback, with my stock DX lower control arms. Everything seems to be squeeking and falling apart, ever since a shop worked on my ride.

Rather than send it back to the shop which shall remain nameless, I would like some peoples real life experiences with overhauling the suspension in these cars.

I would like to know what all would be involved and what parts I should replace. On top of that, seeing as it was a DX, i'm pretty sure that there was no option for rear stabalizer, but I want to put it on. The lower control arm doesn't look like it has the bushing and mount for the stabalizer.... Is there a different LCA on the Si hatch and crx? What stabalizers should I go with? Anyone with a clue of what i'm talking about should definately give me a hand!

Lotsa qustions.... Hope someone can help me out...

Thanks guys!

 

So looking into it a bit further. Aparently the '90 DX Hatchback doesn't have the capabilities for a stabalizer bar on the LCA.

So to add to the list of questions..... Are the 90-91 CRX/HB Si's have the same rear suspension setup? Are the LCA's the same?


.....riiiiiiiiiiiiight Someone?

 

the dx hatch and si crx use the same rear setup i believe i know they use the same front hub setup, and all the nuckles are interchangable. dont know nethign about ur other questions good luck buddy

 

i'm partin out a 88 crx si that i'm pullin parts from...as far as i know all of the suspension is fine...it did have the weird "passive rear steering"(i think)...but let me know if you'd like me to pull some parts off of it

 

So uhm. Does anyone know if CRX's are the only ones that come with rear stabalizers?

Or do the hatchbacks comes with the option aswell?

HELP!!

 

the 90-91 Si hatchs come standard with a rear sway bar. the dx's do not.

the 90-91 crx Si come with the same setup but with rear disc brakes.

to run the rear sway bars....get the lower control arm from a crx Si.
