link doesn't work. If you're set on getting aftermarket arms, I'd recommend Function7. Great arms and they have lifetime warranty which covers bushings as well!

The cheap arms have booty bushings

why do people buy these? the energy bushing kit is like $25ish for the rear arms. at least then you get quality poly. these south china sea junk arms have more issues than the girl i had over last night

oem integra arms are $10-20 on craigslist. energy or hardrace bushings are $30, that's 50 tops. i haven't checked to see if m factory makes arms but get something with service bushings if you get an aluminum arm. some of those are impossible to get parts for.

I would go with Function7 it has the correct sway bar mount location and lifetime warranty that includes bushings. Not the cheapest but worth every $$

Skunk2 has the sway bar mounting hole in the correct location as well.

I think one of the mods needs to make a sticky on LCA's about good and crap brands.
