90-93 integra front suspension on 4th gen hatch

[civicHatch]

I have a 88 dx hatch w/ b16a. I am in need of a suspension and new that the integra 90-93 front suspension and brakes ( hub also). My questioni is has anyone done this conversion for the front and what can I use and what can't I use. Can I just bolt up the upper control arm(A-arm) with both upper and lower ball joints connected and bolt up the lower control arm as well, then it would bolt up as one unit. My other problem is I have eibech sportline springs for a civic hatch, but can I just use the strut fork from my civic?

Questions
1- Will everthing bolt up?
2- Will my springs work
3- any differences in 90-93 integra suspension and brakes? Rs, ls,gs
4- anything to look out for? (I am going to replace all the bushings in the integra suspension with polyurethane.

Thanks for your help

It all works, you will need: the steering knuckle, the caliper, rotor, and brake line from the integra. The caliper is the exact same one as the 91 EX. After you put the parts in you will need an alighnment really bad. The Integra knuckle changes the geometry of the front end. Your steering will be quicker, because the caster will change a bit. It's a good swap, If I were going to do it again I would find 91 EX knuckles.

Good luck!

i have it on my civic. i used poly bushings on everything, and i used the same tokico struts and coilovers i had on my other car. everything bolts up just fine, and it doesnt look like the suspension is gonna be too out of whack. in fact, it looks like my wheels are more centered in the wheel well than before. so yay!! for more caster. with a camber kit and a jim fab front crossmember, im sure that theres no amount of alignment settings you couldnt achieve.

all the different trim levels of DA integra have the same brakes. and if you get one with ABS, just take the wheel sensor off and throw it away.

so what are the advantages of the conversion? for steering and brakes?

[travagliante]

Advantages?
Bigger brakes, better steering, stop faster.
Disadvantages?
Weight, cost?-depends. More bleeding, time, effort. Speed sensor, looses acceleration

Def. believe its worth it. Bigger brakes=stop better. Dis advantages, are that bigger brakes take longer to turn wheel, hmmm...

integra front shocks will fit with you hubs and everything now. just to let you know. but yeah i'd upgrade the calipers too.

A good upgrade while you are at it would be some steel braided lines.
