Default hardrace lca

Has anyone ran these rear lcas and had any review on them? I know I could just get there bushing kit to place in my stock arms but I rather change the arm and make look pretty while upgrafing bushings.

Thanks for any info guys.

Save the money and buy their master kit. I did the master kit in my Db and love it, tightened up the entire car very nicely.

I went the route of Prothane trailing arm bushings, thought it was a better option

+1 on the Prothane bushings in stock LCA's. Mine have a 100K on them now.

Wow really I've heard good things about prothane. But vi also heard you have to replace them every 2 years or so. I don't plan on tracking the car. The only reason I'm not aiming for replacing bushings on stock parts is I don't want to go thru the process of pressing bushings out etc.

I'm running the entire kit (save for UCA's, I ran out of time and steam on suspension at the time) on my EM1, I did notice a big difference over the OEM bushings, then again, the OEM bushings were in terrible shape.

I wanted to stick with stock arms for my daily. The roads are here are pure hell and I didn't think aluminum arms were up to the duty cycle.

You can either cut or burn the rubber out of the stock bushing, use a hack saw to put a small cut in the "shell" that's left behind in the control arm, then just knock it out. I did put the ES master kit in my previous car and used that method all the way around.

The above poster has 100k on his, i doubt that was in two years. OP, i don't think you should listen to hearsay, and start listening to the real world which in this case gives a thumbs up for them!
