Who sells aftermarket upper control arms for civics or integras? I have seen the skunk2, but I have also heard of them breaking etc. What is your input?

Search for threads about the Skunk2 Arms. They can be modified to work without slipping.

King Motorsports sells them, but i dont know what the difference between what they sell and the Skunk2 variety.

 

I have seen pictures of the A-Sports upper adjustable control arms which look to be a better design then the Skunk2 arms. I think they cost about twice as much but they are what I would use if they were legal in my class

Edit: Here's a link to their site:

I bet if I painted them red you couldn't tell the difference between them and Skunk.

The A-sports are nice, but they're more like 3 times more than the skunk. You could get the same thing custom fabricated for less money.

RJ do you know anybody that has had any experiance with fabbing up a way to use one of those fully threaded upper arms to work with a honda suspension geometry? like the modified upper arms on the pole position web site?

I have been thinking lately about building something like this, If anyone has any experiance I would like to hear about it?

Hello Jeffs,

Funny these Vision control arms look very different from the Skunk II control arms.

Vision


SkunkII

 

The Vision website stated the arms were for negative camber only, that is why they are different.

 

Does the vision arms have the upper ball joints included? I know the skunk2 arms def. come with them. Are the upper ball joints polyurethane or just the regular oem ball joint that alwasy breaks and leaks grease all over the place

EVIL

 

The vision arms come with the upper ball joint attached - as for the boot, it is rubber, with a clip, like OEM.

They'd still fit a 90-93 Integra, which I can't say the same for the Skunk2.
