Da hubs on a 88?

in Suspension, Braking & Wheels
I searched and couldnt find any info on this. I have a 88 RT4WD. The recycle yard i goto has many DA's with front suspension intact. I was wondering if its a direct bolt in, ball joint to ball joint. If so what about the axles. I have been reading around that the 88's have a 25 spline count or something like that. what are the outboard spline counts on the axles and if it will fit the teg hubs. I really dont want to have to make hybrid axles. My stock breaks with a 15/16 MC just arnt cutting it with the 15 inch tires im running. I hate down shifting and want to be able to lock the breaks up like i could on my CRX with DA front and 93 si rear disc.

    may i just share some of the stuff i did to my 88Rt4WD. i upgraded my front brakes and ended up using a DA knuckles for the front. i dont remember the year i got it from but i didnt had issues with the balljoints and spline since it fit just fine. i thought you would like to know

    See I though the outboard would be the same seeing as people use teg brakes in civic with d-series all the time. Thank you for sharing. Now I need to save up for the hubs. MMMM I can see it now. sloted and dimpled rotors, mild brake pads, and steel braided lines. Teeth meet mr dash :lol:

    im using 95 teg caliper and rotors on DA knuckles for now. i will upgrade to legend twin piston caliper/prleude 11'' rotors in the future if i find a legend gs at the junkyard. just so freakin hard to find one. as for the rear, im goin to use a 2002-2003 ep rear disk (its about 10.3" same as type-y teg) with 95 teg calipers. the hardest part would be the bracket to fab. just my two cents. and good luck on youre upgrade.
