If you look on their site they have them for a bunch of different cars including Accords. http://meganracing.com/product...d=108
I don't know if they're teflon lines, but it'd be nice if they were....might have to send them an e-mail.

Check the honda part numbers on the arms and if they are the same it will work.

Just lets the air flow through the bumper and creates less drag. Probably not a huge difference....but I like anything that helps you go faster without making more hp

On slhondaparts.com I found the following:
Non-4WS:
52350-SS0-902 ARM, R. RR. (LOWER)
http://www.slhondaparts.com/br...R+ARM
4WS:
52350-SS0-902 ARM, R. RR. (LOWER)
http://www.slhondaparts.com/br...3SS00
So it looks like they are the same.

What sthe handling like compared to a stock lude now with all that hardware out the back?

Those mounts come with the Progress swaybar
Handling is very good. I have crappy tires right now, but I can't wait to get some Azenis to take full advantage of everything.

Here's the rear arms from a 4WS Prelude. It's definately not compatible.
Edit: you found it out already

azenis are def. a good choice Brandon. Just don't drive in the rain. I speak from experience.

Re: (egcoupe94)
those actually look to be pretty high quality from what I can see. Not to mention the added toe adjustability is a big plus, I would consider buying them just for that. I have maximum toe in on the rear, on neuspeed race springs and koni SP3s on the top perch and its just barely enough to keep the toe straight or slightly in

Re: New (?) product review/install: Megan rear toe arms for 4G & 5G (Hawkze_2.3)
i saw and ordered this arms today.
just wondering. i saw somewhere on ebay when they advertised these arms. they claimed that it would be able to adjust camber as well. i dont see how that could ever be done.

Re: New (axlline)
yea thats wat i thought.
does anyone have any recommendations on good camber kits....?
i was thinking on getting INGALLS for my rear....are those worth the price?
is there any site besides ebay that i can get it for cheap....?
should i get the +1.5 - +3.0 or the 0 - +1.5 ones?

So they're speed holes? LOL.
Still, good write-up. I've always though Megan was a knockoff company. Never knew they made good parts.

Re: New (NukeeZoid)
was just wondering. when i first lowered my car. drove the car around for a while without going for an allignment.
the tires were all choppy on the inner wall of the rear tires. the tires were negatively cambered quite bad. i think my bearings are bad and is the reason my tires are choppy...
i didnt even bother to try getting the toe adjusted coz i didnt know better and installed cheap ebay camber kits that i got for free (the anchor arm type)...
after i got those installed the camber is close to spec (I THINK) but the toe on the rear passenger side tire is off by 0.5 inch which is alot. and my whole inner wall is bald. the guys at belle tire said that they were out of toe adjustment and couldnt get the toe in spec.
so tomorrow im gonna be putting my stock anchor arms back on. and then go for a toe allignment. hopefully its because of cheap ebay anchor arms that my toe couldnt be adjusted into spec.
I have to make a 5 hour trip this week and i dont want to wear the tire out anymore because its down to nothing and if i drive anymore with the current setting it'll blow on the highway for sure.
thats why i ordered the toe arm, hopefully the toe can be adjusted when i have the stock anchor arms back on, but if that doesnt work at least i can install the megan arms and get more adjustment. if it works, at least i have better toe arms hehe.
so now does anyone have any recommendations on camber kits for the rear? i need something cheap..but not ebay quality sheeeet.

You don't need a camber kit unless you are just tucking some crazy tire and it's obvious. Just get the toe aligned.
