Default 93 Civic Si - Which lower control arms would you recommend?

I have a 93 civic Si i just got tokico blues with red HnR springs. now the lower control arms bolts that go through the strut were completely rusted so had to torch them out with the bushing got new bushing in and got the suspension on but i wanna get lower control arms but been hearing some of the after market control arms "break" fast. Looking for advice, now i don't think i know everything about hondas and i don't want my car to be the "best" car in the world. I just want a daily driver that is fun to drive. I'm not trying to have it touching the ground or cambered till the wheel are sideways. just wanna drive it to college and back and when i wanna have some fun. Im not gonna be trying to beat every car i see. so please advice would be nice and advice thats gonna help me. so which lower control arms would you recommend and if you have any other suggestions please do say! lol

Unless you want a rear sway bar, stick with oem. They will last another 10-15 years, which is probably longer than you will own the car for

Cut off the bolt on either side of the LCA bushings, and then replace the bushings:

Aftermarket LCAs are 100% bling bling unless they are adjustable. They are made withy inferior bushings that can rot out in no time.

I'd stick with the OEM Honda bushings.

I agree 100%. Personally i'd go with either OEM integra, or '92 - '95 Civic EX sedan LCAs so you can run a factory rear sway bar.

True, they're for bling but some people want that. So if you decide to go aftermarket, stay away from Blox (for controls arms at least).

I'm rocking some PIC LCA's as most of my friends are as well. Not a single issue to report, some have had them for at least 3-4 years (through some harsh winters here in Missouri)
