Default Tubular Lower Control Arms?

Anyone else seen the Competition Engineering Lower Control Arms yet?
1992-99 Civic & 1993-98 Integra.
Saves 24 LBS!


Considering it doesn't allow the swaw bar to be used, I guess it's not for road racers.... Oh well!

Nice for a drag car, but they would be a nightmare for a daily driven car since you can't use the front sway bar.

What are you guys opinions on the front sway bar with drag racing. I know my Mustang buddies all take it off for better weight transfer. What about a front engine front wheel drive car? Can i save a little weight by taking it off or will it hurt me if i do..

You don't want the weight transfer to the rear on a FWD car.

You can also "tweak" the settings to even out the weight on each tire.

Who needs a LSD when you leave 2 even strips?

That seems contradicting why they would make control arms that dont utilize the sway bar. Is there any advange other than weight that im not understanding. Im a little confused why you would want these if they dont provide better tracion or handling. Anyone got some info on the SRR rear arms stated above. I have never heard of them and im always looking for ways to lighten my ride up.

That looks an awfully lot like a sway bar mount point in the pic.
