Default LCA???

Who has what type of lower control arms and how do you like them? Does anyone have any comparison's? I am about to install a rear sway and need to replace my LCA's anyways so I figured I shoould just go ahead and get good ones. Any input is helpful, thanks everyone.

Stock w/ mugen bushings. There's no performance benefit to "lightweight" LCA's and I'd be very leary of cheap aluminum suspension arms.

I just bought used GSR LCA's for my 92 hatch. They have the sway bar mounting points and I paid less than $30 shipped for them.

So is that the general consensus, is to use stock type that have the sway bar mounting points and throw in some good bushings? No benefit to the others other than less unsprung weight and the bling factor? Thanks again.

So your going to cut 5-6 pounds from the car. I personaly dont think its worth the money. Plus if your competing in autocrosses your pushing your class way up.
Performance gains will be very minimal if there are any.
Stick with the stock arms and good bushings.

Actually the LCA's are only about 1 pound less. I have the SPC's on mine and thur koo. I only got them as part of a camber correction kit and they are about 1.5in shorter

Since SPC makes considerable amounts of OE suspension stuff I have no worries about thur quality

That is what I figured. I wasnt sure of I was just missing something or not but I didnt figure that the aluminum ones could be that much lighter. I guess people just get so amazed by shiny things. Thanks again for all the input, I am going to go get my STOCK integra arms and bushings on the way. Later.
