Tubular Front Lower Control Arm by Hardrace
You think these in the pics there would break and do u think these are worth it?
Can someone edit my title? I found out I can't do the rear staging brakes.

That's what I thought, too but I emailed him and those "end links" and where they connect aren't shown well in the pics but I believe you CAN hook up sway bars to them. Please confirm.And do you think that they're strong enough?

Re: Can Rear Staging Brakes Work On a Daily Driver with Ugraded Front Brakes.
Okay 127 post wonder. You initially said "Racehard" which sounds like a Chinese knock off, But "Hard Race" makes High Quality stuff and I would not worry about any of their parts.
That Being said, I cannot find those custom one piece front lower control arms on Hard races web site, can you post a link to them for any actual information on them?
Edit found them:
https://www.hardracesuspension.com.au/front-tubular-lower-arm-stab-link-harden-rubber-for-honda-civic-5th-eg-eh-ej1-2.html
https://h-tune.co.uk/hardrace-front-tubular-lower-control-arms-w-drop-links-honda-civic-eg-integra-dc2/
So to answer the original question, no I do not think they will break, as Hard Race is a quality manufacturer, but are they worth it? Are you racing? They are pillow ball bushing equipped, so they should sharpen the handling but add some harshness to the ride, not exactly sure how much of each. They are lighter too, and reducing unsprung weight is usually a great thing to do, but these are very pricey, so Them being "worth it" is up to you to decide...
Would be nice to find a US supplier.

The lower control arm in the second picture is upside down, so you can't see the endlink mount, but still, the provided endlink is literally right there in the picture.
The Factory Endlinks probably aren't supposed to work with these control arms.

False, You can clearly see the sway bar and Hard Race Specific endlinks in the pictures.
