Default Does anyone make a "JDM ITR" style LCA that would fit my EM1 civic?

looking for an aftermarket company that makes the "JDM ITR" style rear lower control arm where the strut sits INSIDE the LCA. However it needs to fit onto my 99 Civic SI...so far the only brand i see that makes this is Function7 ...are there any other brands out there???

AFAIK F7's box-style LCA is designed for 92-95 Civics / 94-01 Integras, not your car.

Would there be an advantage to have the ITR style LCA in a EK/EM? Would this help rotate the EK/EM?

No, no advantage whatsoever.

Provided that the Function7 control arm has the same dimensions as the stock '96-00 Civic arm, it will have no effect on handling dynamics.

I assume the CTR has LCA's and rear suspension similar to the ITR. But of course the LCA dimensions are different between EK's and DC's. This product really is for the CTR but of course can be used with other 96-00 Civics.

No...CTR is the same as what we have here!

Correct, there's no advantage whatsoever. We usually recommend using the EK style arms. The box style arms are heavier than our standard EK arms for obvious reasons. The purpose of these arms are to save your old JDM style race shocks (i.e. nice/expensive) and to be able to re-use them on your EK.


Our "box style" arms for the EK have the same dimensions as stock 96-00 Civic arms but slightly lighter and it does improve the rear end response a little as a result.
