Hey, I am in the process of swapping an SIR2 B16 into my 92 civic lx sedan and have some suspension questions.

the engine came with all the front suspension components as well as the steering rack and some other stuff. the steering rack I obviously can't use because it is RHD but I was thinking that I could use the suspension parts, i.e. control arms, links, swaybar, etc.

thanks
Sean

are your's bad?

I'd keep them as spares or sell them to make up some of the cost... they're not any better if that's what you're asking...

Also not sure if coupe to sedan will work... but it most likely would...

My suspension isn't to bad but I was thinking of getting an energy suspension kit in the future and then I could put the front bushings into the new front components and not have to disable my car for as long a period of time

just a thought

that's a good thought... do that. I'd make sure it all is the same first though..

as I said I'm pretty sure it is but not 100%
