On the older Civic/Integras an aluminum rear LCA was a pretty good upgrade.

On the RSX/EP3, that's not the heavy part of the suspension arm--it's more a bling upgrade than it is a performance upgrade.

Most, if not all, of the stuff on that picture is complete overkill. You don't need the swaybar reinforcement piece, especially on the RSX-S.

well the reason i wanna buy an after market LCA is because i hit a curve pretty hard wen it was raining, so the rear left LCA got bent. I dont wanna buy an OEM LCA because (correct me if I'm wrong) wen i ask for the price for jus one rear left LCA, its almost equivalent to a pair of market ..

I just ordered a set of omni powers for my ep3. . . they will look nice with the progress sway bar I have and yes its all bling factor but mine was f-ed so I got them otherwise I would never have gotten them.

No. Look at the triangle of bolts on the above pictures. DC LCAs "point" up and EP LCAs point to the edge of the car.

not much, but it does have polyurethane bushings that will improve handling. It doesn't do much by them self but with the sway bar tie bar combo its killer.
