ah he's got you there rick....
btw the 5th gen is a nice autox car but the 4g/crx will always play nicer, different wheel base is key factor..
in somecases a 4g is lighter than some crx's!!!
hard to beat?? nah....

brett, I also can answer the q you had about rear camber problems:
first off the locator arms are different between civic/integra
the compensator arms are slightly different and the hubs are slightly offset compared to the civic counterparts
get one of those upper arm adjusters and your set..
OR : use cx/dx/si trailing arms and use the integra/civic disc hubs..

the springs changed throughout the years...also the struts, lower control arms.
88 (one style) almost comparible to R lower arms
89-91 (style changed)
92-95 changed from 89-91 style
96+ mcpherson????

Matt, I figured about my toe problem a few weeks ago after almost destroying a sent of tires. You don't need to change the hubs, what i had wrong was i need to use the toe link adjustment arms of the civic (they are about 2" longer) instead of the integra. So you only use the trialing arms and hubs of the integra, everything else is civic

you can... but thats not what the topic of the thread is... he's asking about the car in stock form... he never mentioned modifying the suspension

matt you saw that site that had all hte curb weights of cars.... my car is only 50 lbs more then a crx Si... i dont think it would be very hard to get my car down to 2000lbs, the only reason the 5th gens are heavier is really all the accesories on it...
but then again for solo2 driver skill plays into it a lot too

When looking for Si coupes, look for the following: body coloured mirrors and license plate surround, 14" wheels (stock) with hubcaps, power moonroof.
If looking at Si hatches, it's a bit different.
