Control arm compatibility

I was wondering if upper Control arms from an EF will work on an EG? The guy is saying the EF has a GSR suspension...I know that tegs and eg suspensions are compatible but i wanted to make sure it'll work?

thanks

1st gen gsr maybe? for what it costs to get new moog upper arms why not just go new and not worry about bad ball joints

well from my computer here at work it says the 5th gen UCA arms are the same as the 4th gen RIGHT side UCAs...so you would have to use 2 right 4th gen upper control arms...moog uses different part numbers as does honda...but I do know that the "4th gen" parts do work cuz I have sold them to people...but you are better off goin with some new parts rather than used ones...especially if the car is lowered

Get the omni power upper control arms (camber kit).

Moog is a great aftermarket chassis components company. Tie rods, ball joints, control arms, bushings.... they make a lotta great parts y0!! They are on par with OEM, or in some cases better - and they are readily available at regular parts stores.

yeah, considering how much tires cost, its worth the extra $100 to get a camber kit, esp if you already need new uppers.
