I recently bought a Civic EK to be used as my low-budget track car, and it came with some Ebay aftermarket rear lower control arms. A mechanic friend drove the car on track and noticed some iffy bushings. On inspection, he was right. He recommended I get some Skunk2 LCA's as they have affordable replacement bushings available.

Is that the way to go? OEM are pretty much the same price around 180$US.

 

oem + hardrace bushings / urethane bushings / sphericals. everything else is just flash.

 

 

OE Honda or Function 7 if you are interested in weight reduction and don't mind the cost.

 

or kingpin machine if you actually want something worth the money
