Default Possible to mod LCA to Fit 97 accord?

I have concluded through 3 different forums and hours of searching that there is no aftermarket LCA for the 97 Honda Accord EX. So that being said i was wondering if anyone thinks it could be possible that a Civic LCA or an Integra LCA (or any other honda LCA) might fit with some slight modification?

Think its possible or am i a fool for looking into it?

What do you need them for? Looks or do you want them to perform some sort of adjustable suspension function?

I looked around for aftermarket rear suspention upgrades and found nothing. I'm not slamming my car to the ground but I am planning on stiffening everything up back there with some DIY poly urethane bushings.

I'll talk to Iakona and see about that. The main reason i want to try and get an aftermarket one would be because i think one of the stock ones that i have is bent slightly. The car was rear ended a while back and the mechanics told me one of the LCA's bent, but not badly enough to change it then. Now that i have some money again and time to work on it i figured i might try out a new one. The show aspect is just a plus really.

It's $80 for two OEM replacements vs $200+ for custom. If the only reason your doing this is to replace a suspected bent LCA. Why not buy one OEM and replace the bent arm. Then use the $160 that you save for something more useful?

Wouldn't waste my money or time looking for those rear LCAs.
If you need any adjustments in the rear you should invest in some Wicked Tunning Rear Camber kits.
There around $150-160 and worth the money.
