Competition Engineering makes a lower control arms that are tubular out of chromoly steel...i talked to them about it and you can't use them on the street and you can't use a front sway bar if you use there control arms...so i decided to go with integra control arms since mine are busted and I wanted the gsr sway bar. Thanks for all the info on that stuff btw. http://competitionengineering.com/ca...?CatCode=21002

Any clue why they aren't recommended for the street? Spherical bearings, or extra wear and tear, or....?

I think because you can't use a swaybar but I dont know...still pretty knew about this stuff...anyone else got any ideas? I'm just telling you what CE told me. They are really light though that's why I wanted them originally. Oh well I'll just keep dreaming.

Well, that "no swaybar" story does't fly. My DX doesn't have any to begin with. Now I really wonder. It's a great place to lose 24 pounds. Maybe ride harshness, from the sphericals, or maybe they can't fight off road grime, leading to failure.
