As most of you know I am looking to get a new suspension set up. I was wondering if it is worth getting SRR LCA's?

Those will alter your suspension geometry. I, personaly, don't trust SSRs math over Honda (nor the bushing quality). Just my $.02...

KOALA YUMMIES

But they're so bling!!!!1111 Thats why everyone buys them. There was another brand as well that also moved the trailing arm location farther in, they toted it as the "camber correction" arm or something like that. Because when your camber kit pushes the wheel back to the upright (0 degrees positive/neg) position you may rub so the arm pulled it back in.

these don't alter you suspension geometry one bit, and the bushings where alot harder then my stock 1993 bushings.

they do nothing for performance though, i sold those and the srr sway/tie bar for 300 bucks

no it is not worth it.

Tell me how you figure that! As mentioned above, all the aftermarket LCAs advertise camber correction as a purchase point. If you have a shorter LCA, you have definently changed static toe, bump steer, static & dynamic camber, even track width. Your much better off adjusting camber with the upper control arm if you want, but added negative camber is a good thing IMO.

Well, then what would you want them for?

And just because the bushings are harder, doesn't mean their better...

people say it's for the weight, but truly it is for the pretty colors.

naman

They really don't do much unless your heavy into racing. They offer a bearing version that uses bearings instead of bushings and they weigh less than factory lca's, offering better feel to the driver.

where did you find those?

Because stock LCA's do not have a swaybar mounting point.
so if you're going to spend 60bucks on some used teg LCA's,
it's not too hard to fork out an extra 40 for some really nice looking aftermarket lca's that are lighter with stiffer bushings.

I've never heard anyone complain about problems with the SRR bushings,
I have heard countless complaints about oe honda bushings..
so I find it strange that you dont trust the srr ones..

Personally I need a sway mounting point.. and i'm probably just going
to end up drilling a hole in my stock lca's..
If the SRR's didn't come is such wacky colors.. like maybe just a simple anodized black or gray. I might consider them(and if I had alot of extra money that I could blow at the time).

i bought them because i got a deal with the sway bar.

i never said they were better then stock in fact..

They're pretty. If pretty is worth the price, buy them. I can't speak to their quality since I admit I have no personal experience, but if it were me I would stick with OEM LCA's and fresh bushings.

You mean worn out, busted ***, 200,000 mile oe honda bushings? Sure... junk at that point.

I contacted SPC about their rear LCA's for my 92 Civic. They advertised as the "camber correction" LCA's. Once I contacted them, they said for my particular application, no geometry was changed AT ALL, and that pretty much they are only for the bling.

i got the srr lca why did i get them lets see...
2 bolts were siezed up in the bushings to the point where i would have to replace the bushing or get a new lca so i got these.
bling bling y0
they cut 2 pounds each side but that weight loss can not be felt
siffer bushings. i planed to add a sway bar so i needed the hole for it.
i could have gotten gsr ones and called it a day but bling bling man lmfao.

they are the same length as the stock ones i compared it to one of my stock lca and all 3 bolts lined up

Tad

imo, visually,
they're actually even more nice than rice,
if you do it with a tasteful color scheme.

Like cheesefrogs car,
black on dark purple..

Any idea what swaybar this car is using?
I have not heard of people changing out the UCA to adjust suspension geometry. Is this common practice? I only hear about people switching out their LCA's.
Also, I've read that some members have concerns about the material used to make these aftermarket lca's (aluminum?), that even though it is lightweight, it will crack under stress, as opposed to steel which will bend (which is better I suppose).
Anyone care to elaborate? If these risks are real, can they be justified by the weightsavings?

these arms are fordged its stronger then the stock ones they are also alot beefier then the stock ones.
that looks like a type r sway bar with beaks kit.
the only lca that changes the length is the spc ones

Most aftermarket LCA's do not change much handling characteristics of your vehicle. Some come with rubber bushings and some come with plyurethane bushings. I will tell you this, SRR's LCA's are manufactured from billet aluminum. Whereas, most LCA's are forged and machined. Light doesn't mean they perform better. I hope this helped with your decision! </TD></TR></TABLE>

my bad they made of billet aluminum.

Tad

dont think u have to worry about the strength of either these or stock lcas
