Icon2 LCA bushing replacement

So I was looking around for fun and I saw these and wondered if they would fit the OEM lower control arms of my 2000 civic because the bushings I got now are already shot, stupid blox bushings don't last BLOX FAIL . Does anybody know if these would actually fit? Thanks in advance guys

I'm thinking of also buying their sport shocks cuz mine are going out now and either cutting a coil off my oem ones or buying a new set from skunk2

^ Just no. And the bushings in the link are for Skunk2's LCA's only.

IIRC the Blox bushings are actauly smaller then all the others. Which makes it a pain to replace the bushings. (If i'm wrong, someone correct me)

I would just replace the blox control arms with OEM parts.


I would advise agasint buying the sport shocks, they wont last. I had a set for ~6 months are 2 where blown.

^ the shock mount bushing bore in the lca is exactly the same size as oem.
i used urethane ones on my blox ones. if i had to do it all over again i would use the blox ones as paper weights and buy new oem arms

So I take it the subframe/trailing bushings are smaller?

How was your driving style though? I just want to lower my car a little more since I gotta replace the shocks anyway and thought these are a good choice
