00 Si LCA install w/pics
Got some Blox LCA's for X-mas so I decided to install them today. Driver side went nice and smooth but the passenger side was a mess. To start off with the Bolts were seized in the bushings on both the inner and outer parts of the arm. Cut them off with a sawzall and cut off wheel. Previous owner had bolts rigged for the strut and then I find that the sway bar end link is broke uggh cant get much worse I guess. On a side note whats everyones opinion on a rear sway bar? Stock end links are not cheap and this is the perfect reason to upgrade. Enjoy the pics

I feel your pain in the labor,civic and integra's are well known for seized bolts and rear end link replacement once they are older!
Question....why did you change out your lca's? Was something wrong with them?
I had no choice with mine as i was installing coilovers, and oem was the way to go imo

Well the bushings were torn and the sway bar end link was broke not to mention the bolts were mismatched and not oem. I already have skunk 2 coilovers but the stock shocks are worn out so I will be picking up some new ones soon. I knew the Bolt get seized thats why I ordered new ones in advance, just never seen them this bad

oh trust me, they get bad, i had 3 of them that were seized, it was a hell of a lot of work. One thing i did to help in the future was to apply anti seize compound to all the new bolts, to avoid that in the future

Ya Ive done alot of civics and integras in the past and had to blow some out with the torch. I always use antisieze when reinstalling. Think im just going to buy some oem endlinks and call it a day. Gotta save some cash for new struts
