my car didnt come with those lcas it came with the big bulky ones

I know that cos you said it in your 1st post...

so i bought some gsr shocks and blox lcas but they seem to not fit corectly,the shocks are sitting on the lca,and the car is jacked way up in the rear

Why are you going to all this bother when it worked before?! It looks like you must have the wrong LCAs, they look too long to be eg ones... You didnt buy ek arms did you?!

My 1st eg build up -> http://civic-eg.com/viewtopic.php?t=802

- Thu Mar 12, 2009 1:06 am #102407 The only after market LCA's ive seen for the eye type susspensions are the function 7 ones,

As said above JDM eg's and ITR use the eye type rears,

I have them on my car.

- Fri Mar 13, 2009 2:27 am #102801 well because i threw the old shocks away,they were busted and leaking oil,and im not paying 150.00 for used shocks,and the lcas i bought said for 92-95 civic,94-00 integra,i dont have the money to keep putting into it right now,but i need to be able to drive,and they are the same length

Looks odd indeed. Did you add a washer so that the fork would fit right? If so you did get EK one and they are INDEED not right. EK LCAs are longer and will mess up your camber readings.

- Fri Mar 13, 2009 4:04 am #102874 im going to try and find some regular stock lcas and see what happens, i put the washers in that side only because the fork on the shock seems to be to wide,i dont know whats going on with it ,its pissing me off though,you no what i meen,i even double checked my order conformation,and even asked the seller if it was the right part,im going to email him in a little bit to see what they say

- Fri Mar 13, 2009 12:54 pm #102930 well i called the place where i got the lcas and they said they are the correct ones and that the ek ones are straight,and not curved,could i have the wrong shocks,does anybody no the length of the forks so i can go and measure them,

- Fri Mar 13, 2009 4:37 pm #102959 You do not want EK lower arms. YOu want EG. EK arms are longer. And where the shock fork mounts is thinner than the EG. If you take your ITR LCAs and hold them up to the ones on your car, you should be able to see that the ones on your car now are longer. Meaning they are EK lcas.

If you had be given the correct LCA you would not need that washer at all. They gave you the wrong control arm.

- Fri Mar 13, 2009 4:47 pm #102963 ok but could i also have the wrong shocks,they were supposed to be from a dc but i think theyre da,i just went and measured the itr lca the blox lca,and a stock lca,they all measure 14 1/4 from hole to hole

- Fri Mar 13, 2009 4:52 pm #102964 could it be from toe in should i put washers in the ucas to push it out some on top,http://civic-eg.com/viewtopic.php?t=4129

- Fri Mar 13, 2009 4:52 pm #102965 it is possible. The DA shocks are taller/longer, depending on how you look at it.

- Fri Mar 13, 2009 4:59 pm #102966 yeah they are pretty long,and you can see that my car is jacked in the rear,i can fit under it and im not that skinny,the front is fine i like how it sits,so i think there the wrong shocks,all the lcas i have are the same length,thanks

- Fri Mar 13, 2009 5:33 pm #102972 i just went out and got the part# number off,the shocks are for a 92 ls integra,is this why im having so many problems,

- Fri Mar 13, 2009 5:53 pm #102982 Good deal. Now you know. Now just get the right shock.
