[CBEeng.]

fixing to go in for more surgery

[Black R]

I like it.

You are a shop?

One thing though - you may want to reconsider the DA knuckles - iirc they are about 1" taller than EF knuckles..... and can affect your caster, camber, and of course travel of the upper A-arms to contact with the underside of the front shock towers.

I have a shop

the uppers have never hit...probably cause of the 8k spring rate

according to Ben Ogle's suspension write up they are a 1/4" taller and I have adjustable uppers and they dont affect caster

under tech...hybrid suspension

Don't use DA integra UCA's. This is where a lot of people go wrong when using the DA knuckles. They use these UCA's and it gives them positive camber and less caster. Then they blame it on the knuckles. Waaaaaa...


The DA knuckles (also with 10.3" brakes) on the other hand are plentiful, cheap and work great as well. They are, however, a bit heavier weighing in at 6lbs 7oz more per side than a full DX knuckle. Also, because they weren't made for any civic the geometry differences have been blown way out of proportion by message board folks and because of this, a lot of people are scared of the swap. The knuckles are ¼" taller than the civic knuckles but really, it is nothing. It raises the roll center ever so slightly and makes the camber curve a tiny bit more aggressive. So what? Who said the geometry was perfect to begin with? And caster is NOT affected by knuckles. It is determined by the ball joint locations on the control arms. So stop saying the knuckles themselves change/screw up caster! They don't and never will.

[Black R]

yeah it's been a while since I compared - but I never looked at DA knuckles, only siR, ef ex sedan, and of course dc2.....
