Home made lower rear control arms

Made some up a few weeks ago, they seem to work fine. They are a bit heavier than I wanted, 2.3lbs each, the 3/4 Heim joint weighs alot. I think the next pair will be made from Cr Molly tubing.

It looks really cool! Does the adjustment link make it weaker?

Re: Home made lower rear control arms (slomofo)

I would also consider purchasing them if they will fit on a 96+ civic and are lighter than stock by a few pounds!
