My rear bushings are seazed and i can't put my new suspension on so i found these on ebay.

will these work...do you think they are worth it. I was told to buy new rear LCAs so i don know.

 

I've always been weary of components that don't have any information as to exactly where they've come from, especially on ebay. Try to find out everything you can before you spend your money.

 

The blue ones are listed to fit 94-01 Integras and 92-95 Civics. The gold ones are listed for 96-00 Civics. I heard somewhere that EK Civic rear LCA's are shorter than DC and EG chassis, but I can't confirm that.

However the blue ones don't have a place to connect the swaybar end links, so I would stay away from those.

 

torch the bushings out and buy new ones at $22/each... those things on ebay...... i don't like the fact that my suspension is being "stiffened" by a piece of metal with holes in it.. it's like the DC tie bar. has a shitload of holes and just twists and does nothing to stiffen the chassis

 

the sway bar can be put in with an elongated bolt bought at any hardware store. I don't thin kI have pics of it with the sway bar in, but mine fit on my DA





oh, ****, looks like theres not a good place for the sway bar. just get a set of megan racing ones like I did

did you (or any one with these) have trouble with the strut bushing being too narrow? mine was its like a 1/2 inch too narrow

 

I see that they're made by Megan Racing. A company known to produce inferior "ebay only" products.

 

Whats the point? A stock LCA with Energy bushings weighs a whopping 2.5 lbs. per side. Is it really worth spending more than $25 to have lightweight arms?

Big waste of cash when you can make something similar for cheaper, and it would be stronger...

 

that's right, a HUGE waste of cash. **** guys, don't be so negative. the guy wanted suggestions and I gave them. I think they're great. I can feel the difference. you can laugh all you want about your waste of cash, but did you know stock type-r lca's are hollow, just like these? did you know 88 usdm and JDM crx's lca's were like this? Its not just a waste of cash, its engineering. argue with honda if you want, but you drive their cars.......

 

Feel what difference? Can you feel the >1 lb. difference over stock w/ES bushes?

And what difference does it make if ITR LCAS are hollow? Almost all JDM Honda LCAs are like that, just the nature of the design for the home market. Are they lighter? Maybe. Stronger? Probably not...

 

Megan Racing.....HAHAHAHA

 

*shameless plug*

Check my sig and buy some products that aren't "ebay quality"

Megan = Purely sold on ebay, some sponsors brought it to HT aswell.

For the lazy people.

 

maybe i will save up for those. How hard is it take out the stock LCAs when they are seazed like that and put new ones in like these.

 

If you dont care about the bling and dont want to press new bushings in your old LCAs. Go to the junk yard and pick up some used OEM LCAs for like $25. To get the seized one out it COULD be a bitch depending on how bad it is. I've seen extreme cases where my buddy had to torch the bushing, take an impact gun to it about 10x in a row.

ur car looks like ebay central. why would you "upgrade" to mr lca's if u cant use ur sway bar? i have spc upper and lower control arms, the cost money but look and perform great along with having adjustable camber control. if i was you i would bring your car back to stock and buy a good set of bars.

 

holy ****, nice to meet you, Mr. Hater. Tell me one other thing you can see from that pic that looks like ebay central...the rear lower tie? sure, I bought it from ebay, tell me it doesn't work. The KYB struts and eibach springs? sure, I bought them from ebay, tell me they don't work. at least I'm not "Slammed, BW Kit, M-Roadster Fenders, M3 Mirrors, LS Pride"...that's about as rice as it gets. yes, I did "upgrade" because the ones I bought DID have a place for the sway bar. good lord, learn how to read.

will these work...do you think they are worth it. I was told to buy new rear LCAs

so i don know.</TD></TR></TABLE>

you will not be happy with these the busings tear and streach really easily and you have to replace them, my friend had them on his car for a week and the bushing ripped and he had to buy new one's again so save the money and buy nice one's

 

yeah imma get the Nar Spec ones if they are good quality.

 

ok as i understand it these LCA's arn't to reduce weight. they pull the bottom of the hub closer to the car reducing negative camber and allowing wider wheels to be fitted.

 

the nar spec ones or the spc ones?

 

why not replace the bushings. I just installed ES bushings to replaced my cracked ones in the LCAs last weekend.... $15 + my time...

 

ok id do that but i don't know how to myself. Could you tell me what i need to do to take the old ones out and put new ones in. THere also on the the car. What do i need to do to take them off while there on the car like that. The bolts are obviously not coming out thats why i can't install my new suspension and the reason im looking to new ones.

i ended up cutting ALL but 2 of the rear LCA bolts when i did my suspension but luckily for me i found someone selling a pair locally for 50 bucks...after you get it out, you have to get the bushings pressed out or some people torch it and burn the rubber off...i started doing that but lost patience...i still got my lca's that you can take the bushings off so you dont lose any downtime...
