Default need new lca

ok so I am doing a rear disc conversion just because I got most of it in the trunk of a car I bought (since sold). I started the swap on my 98 civic that was once a resident of NY. So you know that means an environment of salt, which means rust/ceased bolts. So I basically need new lower control arms.

I have read posts on good brands, but the latest I could find are a year old. I have 4 kids and the only bread winner in the house. I drive the car 80 miles a day. I want to make sure what I get is good, but also I am not racing the car nor do I ever plan to.

So I need some good Ideas. So far looking at F2 LCA's


Also will need camber links.

If you like how it handles now then keep it stock. Otherwise I'd suggest Function 7 Lca's as they offer a lifetime warranty and a bit of performance. Only downside is they're kind of pricey. $245 a set I believe, but you can get a discount for being a H-T member. Got my set for $205.

They will fit '92-'95 Civics, but not '96-'00. Won't work for the OP. EDIT: I mean they are not a direct fit.

Yes they will, but the OP has a '98 civic.

All the lca's for 92-00 civics and 94-01 integras interchange. Only difference is the bushing width for the strut. Other than that there is no difference besides the rear sway bar option.

I have to replace them because of rust. Just wanting to know a good option besides ebay $60 replacements.

ok so I am looking at the Form and Function arms. Are they work the extra $100 over the oem replacements?

I could only find replacement bushings from Hardrace.

Nothing wrong with oem. Just wanting something good if the benefit is worth it. Like better bushings

FF is not "good", OEM is far better.

I have looked at the Hardrace site, but they have no information. Just pictures and radio boxes. You can put a check in the box but what for? There is no add to carts or anything. I have looked through other sites for the Hardrace brand but only found bushings at around $55.
