Hey guys. I've been trying to find front aluminum control arms for a wile. I know omni used to make them but I can't find a set and I'm not baller enough for the nrg set. I found these J2 aluminum arms. Never heard of J2. Also there's the eBay version which look identical and even have the same add. but are a third the price. They claim to be used on 1000HP cars with no problems lol.... I'm not convinced. These will be going on a 700+HP integra that gets mild street driving. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

I used them on my 740hp Integra last year, I both street drove and drag raced it. I recently just changed chassis and was going to put them on the new one, but the sleeve for the bolts, won't allow the bolt through. It's the strangest thing, I removed the bolts, walked 2 feet to put them on new car and bolt won't go back through. It's the 19mm that connects the arm to the subframe. The 17mm go back through just fine. I'll probably just end up running stock ones until I can afford Kingpin.

My buddy has the J2 with spherical bearings and those things are junk! They did not fit worth a damn.

 

I had the J2 and two different sets of the Ebay ones. The J2 ones shipped with mismatched sleeves and they refused to correct it so I never used them. The Ebay ones the sleeve broke and screwed up my lower ball joint.

I'm using stock now with poly bushings without issue.

I'll never use aluminum front LCAs again

and use your stock lca.

 

? Are you suggesting using my stock lower control arms and use these spherical bearings? I was more looking for the weight benefits.

 

a lot of cars are using spherical bearings.
