Lower Control Arm Upgrade

[luisitol]

Did a quick search here and online but came up with nothing. Are there any upgrades for our front lower control arms? I'm replacing pretty much everythign in the front suspension so I would like to find something for the lower control arms if possible

tell us how it turns out. i don't think anyone has them yet....

i doubt you are going to find anything.. i just replaced all the bushings, so thats probably your best bet

yea I'm already planning on the bushings (PST), still looing though for a complete unit. If not I'll just have to go OEM, I don't want anything old on the suspension.

what do you mean complete unit?? i just got the pst front end kit and it comes with everything except the upper balljoints( i got spc cuz i needed a camber kit) and the other bushings in the lower control arm and just go to honda for that

how hard was the install? or did you have a shop press in all the bushings?

I mean a whole lower control arm, not just the bushings

i had a shop press out all the bushings and put in the lower balljoints. you can install the bushings yourself. it's not the easiest job because you pretty much gotta take apart your whole front suspension and if you don't know what you are doing then you can really mess things up.
-luisitol are you saying u want to replace your lower control arm or what? im pretty sure there are no lower control arms other than oem, but why buy new ones when you can get new bushings and be as good as new, unless your lowers are bent or damaged.

Yea I'm saying I want to replace my whole lower control arm. Reason being that many of my front suspension parts (most actually) need to be replaced so I would like to upgrade wherever possible, and if not upgrade replace with brand new ones. So if there is no lower control arm upgrade I'll jsut hav eto buy an OEM unit and then upgrade the bushings.

I'm also performing some modificaitons to the suspension pieces possibly for show so pretty much every piece will be replaced
