Thank you djstevic! That was helpful advice. Mine's a LeMons car, so our race sessions are of similar length.
After poring through a bunch of parts books it appears the 1984 Civic rear spindles are about .140" smaller in diameter than the 1987 Civics. This may mean the bearing has a larger O.D. too. I won't be able to tell unless I get one, because the parts books don't say.
djsteviec are you using a 1984 or are you using the 1985 CRX in your sig as the basis for your race car? What is the I.D. of the bearings you are using?
And in case anybody knows, does the larger bearing last longer than the smaller one?
Anybody using a later model spindle/bearing in longer races with grippy tires? How do they last?
We are getting enough grip that the upper track bar mount ripped up the unibody and the car makes peeing-dog poses. It chews up wheel bearings too.
This is with junkyard and OEM replacement shocks and springs made for various vehicle manufacture's products:

Whole rear suspension cost less than $100.
Thanks again, djsteviec!
