+2 on that one. just run OEM arms with ES bushings (or similar) and you'll be fine.

mann..
okay so the only thing bad with these lca are the bushings suck and the sway bar doesnt mount up..

so wat if i use end links?
these bushings should be kool for atleast 6 months then ill upgrade bushings.!!

we think you bought shitty lower control arms and still don't want to listen to what's been said, ES bushings in stock integra arms would have cost you less and performed better.

Forcing anything isn't good. Think about what you are doing by loading your sway bar. Just buy the adjustable end links.

ctually its noting bad because the car was up in the air and now that the cars dropped the sway bars not even getting pressure on it.. u get me..

when the car was on the air the lca was pulling the sway bar with it but now that i lowered it to the ground theres no pressure on either object u get me.!!
well yeah it looks clean ill post pics soon

This will cause **** to be bad on high speed corners. Go out hit the twisties then come back and post what you think about it.

Anywhere you can hit 60-80 mph and a bending turn. Might even make a difference in lower speeds.

Usually on high speed corners when you load a sway bar you can feel the rear act a little strangely. Not trying to flame you since you already know that you bought crap LCA's.

somewhat off topic but i just talked to a kid about this in a local parking lot. he was trying to figure out which LCA to buy. anyway, when i mentioned a craigslist post for "integra lower control arms @ $10" he was like no, i need LCA's not lower arms.

i'm not kidding
