Default front lower control arms????

I own a 93 del sol im trying to find after market front lower control arms with poly bushings, ive looked at omni blox skunk2 no one seems to have the right ones for my application i believe the civic si of that year uses the same control arms in the front not 100% sure. if anyones has some or knows where to get them please let me know, since im sick of replacing the shitty bushings that come factory in the civics they seem to be a repetative problem in that car thanks

FLCAs for a 92-95 Civic will work without any problems

or you can use integra 94-01 ones or 92-95 civic SiR (JDM) for holes in the LCA for a swaybar
btw, changing suspension components like this, get an alignment after



hard to see but its right under the outer tie rod (1992 civic SiR (JDM) in this case)

Quick Question.

Are 97 GSR and 92 Civic CX front lower control arms the same demensions?

I hit something with my GSR and my RF tire was set back and camber in alot. I Put the FLCA of my old 92 cx and aligned the car but RF is still out on caster and camber but looks a lot better. Wondering if these FLCA are diffirent or maybe something else in bent.

Edit. Seems like the cx one is longer due to me having 3.0 degrees of camber

so 92-95 civic LCA's are exactly the same as dc LCA's (assuming both have sway bars)

what about the forks are they the same as well? I ask cause i got dicked when i got gsr sway/lca setup

i got just the section in red & not the part thats circled in blue

damn, doing some serious autoX that you have to replace your bushings often?

omni does have a set for the front and they claim they are lighter than oem's. they run about $400. your best bet is to go pick up a poly set from energy suspension and have them pressed in. even if you pick up a complete set and have all your bushings pressed out/in, it'll still come out cheaper than the omni.


oh, i agree w/ everyone else, 94-01 integra and 92-95 civic.

also the bolts that attach the 2 pieces - can those be purchased separately? i checked honda parts catalogs & they all list the blue & red parts as one part

Just unbolt the part in red on the control arm that you have on your car. Use the part on your car circled in blue. And reassemble with the bolts from your lca with the new part circled in red
