burbleboy Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I have been thinking about getting rear lower control arms and have been doing research on this forum and others. What i gather is mb6 rear shocker forks are 40mm wide. The dc2, eg,ek lca's fit but most lca's have a bush that's 50mm wide? Would i get this to fit as it says 'bushes are 50mm wide'..... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-CIVIC-CRX-88-95-LCA-EK-EJ-VTEC-UPRATED-REAR-LOWER-SUSPENSION-CONTROL-ARMS-/231055729750?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Car+Make%3AHonda%7CModel%3ACivic&hash=item35cbfea456 Any info on these would be great as in the 'showroom' section, peoples build thread are mostly with coilovers fitted and they have 50mm wide forks anyway!

KiNK43 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 You will either need eg rear struts with wider fork.Oooor just cut a tad off each side of the bush neatly with a grinder. Easily sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Obviously you can only cut the bush if its an oem style bush like those pictured or d2, hardrace etc.Some lca like skunk2 have a poly bush which you can't really cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily sorted Yeah i thought that cutting it was the answer but i wanted to make sure that everyone else does the same etc. I have MGZS shocks fitted to would not want to buy other suspension to avoid cutting! Thanks for the reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burbleboy Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 what do rear lca's do?? Look the mutts nuts and lighter! I'm not entirely sure if benefits other than that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burbleboy Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 My mate in the work was looking at this post and says the lca's i'm looking at will be craaap!He says that he has seen the cheaper ones snap and the bushes are made of chocolate. He suggested skunk 2 ones as they are stronger made. They have no direct benefit other that looking good and lighter! I may think about this before buying!!
