LCA swap?

[devilzek84]

im doing a disc brake conversion on my 98 coupe ex. i reciently got GSR rear brake set up, but being that im doing a complete overhaul on the suspension, wat lower control arms would i need, now that the body is a civic and the brake arms are from a GSR? would the civic LCA work or would i have to get the integra gsr LCA? what would be a good control arm for a good price? ive seen blox, megan and skunk2 LCA.. gettin mixed answers about the bushings. im not lookin to drop my car drastically. im putting TOkico Hp shocks and lowering springs that will give me a 1.5" drop. wat would be good for this setup? thanx

Your oem lca would do perfectly fine.

but if u want to upgrade i go with either omni or skunk 2 but somethin cheap blox will work but there is that problem with those are the bushing but they do offer bushin replacement

blox work great except for the bushings( which seem to smush after a while)
im thinking about throwing some energy bushings in there or some s**t.

common reason why people get aftermarket lca are due to bling factor unless ur running a rear sway bar and wanting to be able to fine tune it.

and about the bushing issues. you can replace your oem bushings with poly as well. not just for aftermarkets.

If you want. I have silver blox lca but with busted bushings of course. all you'll need to buy is just the bushings itself and replace it. PM me if your interested and since ur in nor cal we can just meet up so it can save u on shipping.

IDK why everyones having problems w/Blox LCA bushings....Ive had mine for 6 months and not a single issue.

 

[Sammo115]

I do mountain runs quite often...every other weekend and this certain road I run on has quite alot of hairpins and harsh twisties so yeah. abused them bastards LOL oh and cant forget them potholes.

roads in SoFla arent the best either.. i guess it takes a few sharp hits and theyre done. mine squashed after 3-4 weeks

 

[devilzek84]

well im runnin a whole suspension upgrade .. shocks springs , LCA, sway bar, tie bar, subframe brace. the car is a daily driver but jus wana be able to have some fun with it to.. i know blox has the sway bar mounts on the LCA's. cause ill be using a blox sway bar... any good things about megan LCAs?

 

[devilzek84]

do they make replacement bushings by Energy ???

 

[Sammo115]

Yeah. they do make replacement bushings.

oh btw. I went to check on my lca i had put away last night. brother threw them away. that b***h ass.

 

[Young gunna]

would you need to buy bushings for a teg then? i'm doing the same conversion just onto a 99 ex... sorry i don't mean to thread jack

 

[Young gunna]

and do i need an entire set? like the sets from velocity shop?

 

[devilzek84]

i actually wen to the energy website to check for the bushings but they dont have any for the 96-00 civic.
damn that sux bro .. i need for find some LCAs

 

[devilzek84]

would integra LCAs work on a 98 civic? being that im doin the disc brake convers what aftermarket LCAs should i use ? the integra or the civic LCA

 

[Sammo115]

Integra LCA would fit but that would mean you cant use your shocks LOL.

Stick to using 96-00 Civic LCA. If you really want aftermarket that badly then just go with hardrace LCA. http://www.buyhardrace.com/controlarms.html

IDK why everyones having problems w/Blox LCA bushings....Ive had mine for 6 months and not a single issue.

i agree ive never had a problem with my blox lcas either

 

[Noodler]

integra and eg civic lcas do not swap into 96-00. lengths are different.


and here you go! go go go blox lca bushings!
