Default Is it better to change LCA's on a 95 ej?

I seldom go to the track...(at least to race my pos!) I have a rear 22mm progress sway bar. I want a lower tie bar too and i dont have enough for the comptech sway/tie combo. How strong are my lca's? Im wondering if I need to replace them for any such reason like the eg's do. Any help is appreciated

It isn't the LCA's it's the subframes that are weak.

Now, do you have mounting points in your LCA's? That is why the EH's change them out, they don't have mounting points.

I wasn't aware that the EG's had any LCA issues. I have a ST rear sway and neuspeed rear tie (pain in butt - that install - won't go into it), and I have no LCA issues (EH2 hatchback)

I would have to go with a no...only because i am a newbie...but my buddy welded the bar on. Although i think it does because it was made for my car and it came with mounting hardware and bushings. (Such a freakin newbie...sorry) It's an EX coupe...This would make me branch off into the topic of what is a subframe and it's purpose? What causes this to rip? Thanks guys
