i have an 88 hatch that im building up right now. the car is basically a rolling chassis right now because we are going to start bodywork in a week.
i know that the 88 has some different suspension parts on it from the later years, but i havent pulled it apart yet to see exactly what is different.
i have a 90 hatch that is totalled, but it has a complete suspension swap from a 91 CRX Si. disc brakes and all
heres the question: which parts from the 88 are better than the parts from the 91 CRX Si. i have noticed that the lower control arms are different, but is that all?

ok, from what it looks like, that means the strut is also different. does anyone know which setup is better?

yes the strut is different cause the difference in lower control arm in the mounting point. With the 89-91 you'll have more choice for shocks such as KYB agx's arent made for the 88 control arms..But the 88 control arm is the same as a Integra Type R, i've heard you can use shocks for the ITR with a lil modifying..

hmm, well i already have good struts, but if i find enough reasons to use the 88 control arms, i might
