Default 98-02 Accord Control Arm Question

Are there any rear lower control arms that are available for us with the 98-02 accord 4cl?

I am currently looking to do some suspension work, and I love the way the rear lower control arms look on civics from the back, and really really want this look for my car.

I have searched on HT and on google and on ebay and cant come up with any alternative to an upgradable product. Is there something that I am missing or is there a control arm that will work from another car onto my model?

Thanks in advance!

This is the exact style control arm I am shooting for. I dont care what color it is, that can always be changed.

Unfortunately, suspension companies are (and probably will remain so) unaware any 6th gen Accord owners wanting aftermarket control arms.

I have not seen any either.

If you got the measurements for your stock arms, maybe you could find some aftermarket ones that would work? Otherwise all I see is a custom job as a possibility.

I don't know what all you have done suspension wise, but as long as you have good shocks, springs, and sway bars you should handle well for a midsize.

My 4dr handles pretty darn well compared to stock with tokico 5ways, tein h techs, and a 7/8 rear sway bar.

Oh, and if anyone does find control arms that work, props in advance.

I was afraid that would be the answer to my question. I mean it would be nice to help out with suspension, but I mainly want them for visual purposes. I honestly love the look that those thick ones covered in candy paint do the rear of the car.

Currently I just have some temporary Tenzo R springs. I will be doing a subwoofer wall in my car, as I am sponsored by 2 companies for car audio so I will be adding around 800lbs into the car.

I will be upgrading new shocks and springs (adjustable sleeves) so that after all the weight is in place, I can adjust the ride height to keep the rear of the car from sagging. I was told to go with KYB AGX shocks and maybe some Skunk2 sleeves. But I have really been eying up the Fuction Form full coilover kit that would only run me about $650 instead of the $900 route for the KYB/Skunk combo.

KYB AGX is good stuff. I honestly don't know much about the Function Form stuff, so maybe someone else has insight. Thought I heard they weren't bad.
