I can name a lot of cars that come standard with Aluminum suspension parts.

-Corvette, JDM DC5R, etc.

 

Factory engineered Al suspension bits =

Aftermarket unknown quality Al suspension bits =

I should have been clearer.

 

The Function7 stuff is actually pretty nice. Those cheapo ebay AL arms I would definitely worry about.

I saw a CAD drawing and analysis on them a whil back ago. It may or may not be on there anymore. They seem to work fine on my car, though. No problems yet.

 

Trey had a set of the Function7's for sale a while ago, looks like the pictures he had are not up anymore though. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1006149

What was his is now mine

 

OmniPower USA is out with a new set now

 

I think the problem with some (if not most) of the aftermarket LCAs is the quality of the bushings

 

http://www.streetrays.com has some LCA for ITR.

Reading my mind....... or is it just all Chinese folk think somewhat similar?

A friend of mine whom I build (or would that be destroy?) and race with got his ITR LCAs fitted with spherical bearings.... maybe that would be better in terms of a performance upgrade than just an aluminum arm?

SRR does seem to have half decent bushings though..... since I find a lot of people in Vancouver tend to have them and I had a chance to take a look at them during an install.

i think these might fit ITR.. but i dont know about the quality..
I need one too.. if anyone knows something better but not too pricy.. let me know

 

Most of the Integra LCA's are not ment for the ITR. Omnipower has some nice forged ones but they don't fit the ITR.

The Function 7 ones look nice and they will fit, but I remember reading about them awile back and they were kinda sketch then.

 

You could consider the rear LCA from Vision's Formula Link Kit; it is an OEM piece with stiffened rubber bushings. List price is JY39000.

 

I took off a set of LCA from a 93 Civic 2 weeks ago. They were binding the bushings. From the pictures of other LCAs (which aren't always of the best views) it looks like they are are straight pieces as was the pair I removed. In the stock Civic and GSR LCAs (I will need to look at the ITR) there is an offset bend in the arm. This allows the bushings to align correctly. When these pieces are machined from billet all the bushings line up (car's left to right) or simply put if you laid it on a table all the bushings would touch or be very close. This isn't how it is with the stock piece and therefore one has to muscle the pieces in whihc causes binding in the bushings .

 

Good to know. I'm like the Vision Formula ones with stock arms painted glossy black and pillow ball joints.

David, were these the function 7 lca's in question?

 

LCA? not good with acronyms.

 

lower connecting arm. could be front or rear, in most cases, refer to rear.
