2ws parts?

Post by LewisH » Mon Jan 14, 2013 5:51 pm

Hi all,

I know on the 2ws subframe set up you obviously need the subframe and the 2 arms that hold the wheels straight... are there also lower control arms that go on these? Im getting the 2ws set up hopefully soon, and wanna make sure i have EVERYTHING before i get stuff powder coated.

the lca's are the same from 2ws to 4ws so you just need the control arms

is it the toe control arms you are on about?

So is it just the sub frame itself and these arms you need? nothing else?

Sorry to hijack, just going to do this conversion myself.

As the RattyBot says the rear arms are the same. Lings lists the 2WS 2.0L and the 4WS 2.2 lower arms as the same:

http://www.lingshondaparts.com/honda_ca ... k_03=23031
http://www.lingshondaparts.com/honda_ca ... k_03=23027

So you'll need the 2WS rear sub frame and toe arms. Also best to get new toe arm bolts, plates, and nuts (parts 31, 33 & 57 in the first link) ;).


Edit - That is for 4th gen, didnt realise 5th gen was being talked about. It is still the same though for the 5th as well ;)
