I thought the reason cars like civics and stuff got aftermarket LCA's was to mount swaybars, but as ludes have swaybars stock you don't need aftermarket, or am I getting somthing mixed up there?

Dude that's why I have the only set of spoon rear LCAs in the world

To the OP, it would be nice to have some reduction in unsprung weight, but I don't think it would make much of a difference (if you're concerned about performance and not just bling). I think there's plenty of other places of suspension performance interest to focus on rather than the rear LCA... (if that made any sense at all with all those adjectives)

^^yes you were right, that and unsprung weight would be the reasons for getting them... Although, people could argue strength as well.

the day I see an LCA break is the day pigs fly

I would like to know how much lighter the integra ones are than the stock integra ones just to get a good idea of the ratio

the reason that nobody makes lower control arms for preludes is because of our suspension setup, it would require making a seat for the ball joint....which is much more expensive than the simpler integra/civic suspension design....

and the passenger side arm is bent to clear the exhaust.

The weight diff is around 2 lbs each arm for the Civics/Tegs.
