I just installed SPC lower control arms along with a skunk 2 lower tie, and a civic front sway bar on my 94 hatch,
for suspension i have tokico blues with dropzone coilovers feels great when going around turns but when i go start or change lanes it feels really grabbie and wants to have a mind of its own
(almost like firetruck steering) i also have rear and front strut bars any ideas would be great, i was thinking it might be the poly bushings in the LCA but i dont want to replace them if thats not the problem

 

Are the SPC LCAs same length as OEM or shorter?

Did you get an alignment?

 

no i havent got it aligned yet and
i think the lca are the same size i will measure them when i get home
i am waiting on new tires and my rear sway before i get it aligned
do you think the poly bushing in the rear lca would cause it to react like that

 

any other ideas?

 

help

 

Get it aligned, sounds like your rear wheels are toe'd out.

 

Get an alignment, it sounds like your caster is way off.

 

WTF have you been smoking??? Caster is off? come on man. The correct answer is that unless you buy Koni/GC you will be plagued with suspension deamons, and gremlins will make your suspension grabbie. Anyway get an alignment see what that does.

Yes, caster on the rear wheels....

 

Listen to EPD he knows his **** man, he ran some shocks and springs other than Koni/GC and an evil devil chicken took over his car.

 

SPC advertises:

These extreme lower control arms are for Honda Civics and Acura Integras. They are designed to allow the use of wider wheel and tire combinations and solve tire-rubbing problems. Made from aircraft aluminum alloy, these arms are available in candy red, blue and silver finishes. When teamed up with front and rear camber arms SPC Performance provides you with a complete alignment solution when lowering your later model Civic, RSX or Integra.


so, the deal is that your alignment, especially camber is way off now. i have no idea why they even bother with making it shorter, i think they expect you to run their adjustable upper control arm too.

anyway, id ditch the SPC arms.

 

thanks guys i'm going to get my car aligned this week
