Why do you want lightweight LCA's? What are you using them for?

There's plenty of aluminum junk sold on ebay and h-t - and I wouldnt touch it with a 10 foot pole. You have no idea how poorly it was engineered, and if it looks like it might be cheap junk it probably is. Aluminum does not fatigue and bend like steel does, it just cracks - something you definately dont want from your suspension parts.

Stock LCA's are just fine. They're cheap ($60/side from the dealer, with new bushings) and they'll likely never break.

 

i heard the the light weight one are good that why i put this post up because i was worried about them bending what would you recommed RJ since you have an ITR too right. Its for street use and some track use

If the arms are not made well, then if they fail they wont bend - they'll crack, and likely have a complete failure - thats just how aluminum is.

RJ, would it not be cheaper easier to just get new rear arms instead of getting new bushings only and having them pressed in? The new arms already come with the bushings as you said, and the bushigs by themselves are about $15-$20 each, x6 for the rear, thats about $90-$120, or $45 to $60 per side, not too shy from just buying an LCA.

I'm thinking of doing this instead of buying the bushings and a press. Rear LCAs are about $69 ea for an EG civic. Where'd you source them for $60?

The fronts ones is definately cheaper to buy just the bushings, as well as the rear trailing arm bushigns, the rear trailing arm bushings, 52385-S21-003 for DC2/EG are about $28 ea.

 

I call Len @ baranco acura for all my parts - https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=977771

 

And then, there is this beauty:

follow the delrin bushing (rpm) link in our signature. if you do anything other than stock go delrin (no matter where you get it from our guys or elsewhere)...screw urethane between the failure rate as well as the flex you'd be better off staying stock.

His price is for a set (all bushings), including pressing out your old ones, pressing in your new ones. It is a 1 day turn around. The ones pictured on the web-site are from our car- but he does them for any Honda/Acura.

Also rpm makes some awesome lcas for the ITR (we will be putting some on our ITR) they may not be on the web-site yet (they aren't good about up-dating the web-site which is new). We can vouch that rpm/ron knows what he is doing, has awesome quailty work, he has been involved in motorsports for twice as long as we have been alive.
