I currently make and sell Spherical Bearing kits for the 4th and 5th gen prelude front LCA's. I would like to make a few similar kits for the DC2 chassis.

Here are some pictures of the prelude kit:







Myself and several other prelude drivers have been using this set for the entire 2006 race season, with no problems at all. Mine still have zero play in them.

Anyway, I'm looking for a volunteer who will let me borrow a pair of front LCA's from their DC2 (1994-01 Integra) for a month or 2. I need the OEM bushings but they don't need to be installed. I will ship them back with the spherical bearing kits installed (free) you just cover shipping. I will cover the parts cost. You will be the test car. I need someone who uses R compounds and tracks / races their car often to fully test the kit under racing conditions.

Any takers?

 

I have an extra set that I can send out asap. IM sent.

 

looks like a nice product.

 

Scott beat me to it, but I am looking to find sphericals for the GSR. I am willing to send my LCA's out. Just let me know.

 

Scott wins!

I will post an update after I get them installed into his LCA's (with some pictures). If all goes well I hope to have several for sale soon. Should be less than $100 for a kit.

 

Scott, you bastard!!! Okay, please let me know when you are ready. I want a set for my EG which just happens to use the same rear lca's.

 

looks vaguely familiar.... Oh yeah..



And installed:




The orijinmotorsports.com kit works great, I've had it at TWS and MSR Houston with R compounds and everything seems fine.

 

Front lca are being sent out today. I think I have about three sets of front lca so no rush on getting them back, although I am planning on going to the Sebring race on Jan 6,7 if you want me to try them out asap.

Sounds great.. let us know when they are available!

 

anything for EK's?

UPDATE:

The prototype fresh off my lathe.


Pressed into Scott's LCAs


With Stand offs, and dust covers


I'm going to ship them back to Scott tomorrow so that he can install them and test them. I'm also waiting for a price quote from my machine shop (I'm not going to be making them all by hand). When Scott and I work out any issues and I get my price quote back I will post again with price (should be about $100) and when they will be available (next few months). I'm thinking 10 sets for the 1st run, unless you guys think I will need more.

if there is enough interest, then yes I can put that on my list.

 

im also interestedin ek bearings. Mind me asking what the liner is made from?

 

the bearing is steel, the retaining rings are steel, the adapter sleeves are 6061 Aluminum.

Interested in the DC2 AND EK Civic's spherical bearings!

 

EF!!! I'd buy multiple sets of these for an EF if they were offered.

 

werd to the EF kit. id be interested as well. whats pricing look like? maybe make a rear LCA kit as well?

 

Another one to add to the EF listing...I'd be in for front and rear lower control arms.

 

I'd like to see EF Front Lower Inner Bushings and Rear Lower Inner and Outer. I can't even imagine what that would be like.

how much interest do you need? 10 sets? for $100 I'll buy a couple...

 

I'm going to start working on the EK front LCA kit real soon.

 

sounds good...

PM when you are ready...

Do you see a big benift running these anywhere else on the chassis?

Oya, very beneficial. I run all monoball on all pivot points on my chassis.

On front upper control arm and lower control arm, I had to make it myself. But the rear are all available off the shelf with good bearing. I can not emphasize enough the important of running expensive/good bearing than cheap bearing.

For instance, on my front toe-link/bumpsteer kit. The rod end cost $97 each. But when I got hit by a factory five racer on that corner, it bent the spindle, lower control arm, and a 7/16 grade 8 bolt that go through the rod end. But the rod end itself survive without any damage.

I'd buy two sets front and rear for an EF

 

I should have the 1st batch of DC2 front inner LCA kits in about 3 weeks. I have all your names and will PM you as soon as I get them in.

I'm also going to start working on the front inner LCA kits for the DA civic real soon. I will make a new post about them after I get a prototype made up.
