    CL to CB - Rear disc swap.

    So, short story. I have a wrecked 99 2.3 CL, and a 1992 Accord LX. I'd like to swap the complete rear subframe to gain the rear disc and rear sway bar on the 92. My buddy was telling me the CL/5th gen stuff does not quite line up right on the 4th gens. Any tips on this?

    If you are using the entire rear assembly (crossmember, control arms, knuckles, trailing arms, etc) it will fit but will add a bit of negitive camber since the control arms are a bit longer. It would also require you to get a rear alighnment since you will be changing the geometry. And in some cases it is impossible to adjust the rear since they seize up pretty bad, I would invest $100 in rear Megan toe adjusting arms. If you do gi that route expect the toe arm to fight you when taking it out. I had to use a torch to remove them since I could not jus remove the toe adjusting bolts.

      So it's the lower control arms that are a bit longer? Can this be corrected by an alignment or do I need the toe-adjusting arms? This is a budget project on a 275000 mile car so I'm only purchasing parts that are necessary.

        It can be corrected by using CB rear lower arms.

          Good luck swapping the toe arms, on a rust free CL I still had to use a torch to separate the arms.
