Default Lower control arm (help)

All the bushings on both my lower control arms are torn. And the left one has a little bend in it. Where can I get some new ones. I have a new bushing kit. But the left arm needs changed. Honda wents a ton of money for a new one. What about these Competition Engineering Tubular arms.

Are they safe for the street?

Competition Engineering arms are for the track. They are lighter, but nobody really knows if they're stronger. (they might be, but nobody really knows).

My $0.02 - junkyard arms. Lower control arms are cheap from most junkyards.

larry jr. at http://www.importautosalvage.com could get you LCA's for cheap... he helped me out

*also now is the time for polyurethane bushings, they are MUCH easier to install compared to oem bushings.

if you need help removing the old bushings, there are many how-to's in the archived threads...
