If you have an 88 does that mean your rear lca's are hollow and not cast? If so you would need to change them. In the back of my ef i have part civic part 90 integra and part type R integra!

are we talking about the little arms that hold the bottom of the shock to the front lca?
if it is, it shouldnt cause any alignment problems, as it only holds the shock, if it isn't then enlighten me

thanks
Matt

Those little arms are called the damper forks. On a eg they are for 1 5/8" shocks while the ones on a ef are for 1 1/2" shocks.
