Right now I have my new Skunk2 arms bushing-less and my parts car has some shiny new Skunk2 bushings on the factory arms! Lol.

Been waiting on production on them for a good 4-5 months directly through Brian at PCI .. They seem to be a better solution to stock rubber bushings and cheaper than spherical, just gota get ur hands on em

Here you go: Civic Adjustable Upper Control Arm-Civic Adjustable Upper Control Arm Manufacturers, Suppliers and Exporters on Alibaba.comAuto Control Arm

Go start your own chinese control arm company. LOL
If I were gonna run something like that, I'd say TruHart arms get an honorable mention for improving on the balljoint design.

Now I know there has been a lot of things said about skunk2, but most of what I read is pretty ill-informed. People seem to bash the products because they are made overseas. Well, so are my blue point and mitutoyo tools. Where it's made isn't nearly as much of an issue as who did the engineering and what materials and quality control is specified. Iphones and Xboxs are made in China and people love that ****.

I also read about bushings failing. Most of these arms have rubber bushing with no ability to rotate other than it's twisting compliance. That said, the bolts that mount the bushings shouldn't be tightened until the car is on the ground at ride height or ride height is simulated. I can just picture a bunch of 17 year old kids having their suspension at maximum travel and tightening the bushings down and then taking the car off the stands and having it sit mad JDM hella tucked. The rubber probably tears immediately. It should be noted that the Skunk2 pro plus utilizes freely moving urethane bushings instead of the usual pressed rubber.

I'm tired of replacing the garbage *** ball joint they have every year when this car only sees maybe 3,000 miles /year. Searching for a new company with a stiffer upper arm and better joint since this car can't keep the front end together anymore. For the money they seem nice, but can't really find anyone who has had them and how they've worked out etc. Thanks.
