Lowering is in the works. I'd only sell this one if I was able to purchase that rust free silver one a page back. About to make the owner an offer here soon.

Every civic I've worked on has always been a pain in the neck when it comes to suspension being rusted up/seized and bolts breaking! I feel your pain!!!

Yeah it's been a struggle. I'll need to cut both of the lower shock bolts and the driver's side outer lca bolt because of snapped heads. The inner rear swaybar bushings are trashed so I'll be ordering those from Honda along with some front sway bar endlinks. All that abs sensors wiring is tied up between the lca and strut mount too haha

Over the weekend I got some paint on the top hats and sway bar to keep the rust at bay.


I planned where I'll make my cuts to free the seized bolts on the rear lcas

and threw on some new hardware for the upper control arms

the front wheels are on the ground, still procrastinating on that final bolt that needs cut out.

Got the second arm out


Going to need to use some washers to fill the space between the bushing and shock mount. Got unlucky with these BWR arms, no response yet from their customer service.

Any ideas for removing this piece of seized bolt stuck in the trailing arm?

If you have access to a cutting torch, you can heat it quickly and alow it to cool and then try removing it with vicegrips. Several heat cycles may be necessary. The other option involves cutting the access threads of the bolt off, grinding smooth, center punch the very center of the bolt and drilling out starting with a small bit and getting larger till almost into the threads. Then run a tap through it.
