im buyin a new suspension set up.. megan racing coilovers with damper adjustibility..
i can get it for either 1200 as is.. or pay an extra 100$ and get the rear control arms?!

is this worth it, is their any real significance in doing this performance wise, i mean its an 01 so they dont HAVE to be replaced, will i even tell a difference!? lmk, thanks guys

when people are behind you they can see the lcas and imo they look super sexy.

Also if your bushings are seized it will make the job easier.

From me, a definate affirmative to the lcas.

The purpose of the LCA's is to hold your suspension together.

Some argue that Aluminum LCA's provide a reduction in unsprung weight but it is mostly for looks IMO.

Honda's equipped with double wishbone rear suspension are notorious for seized bolts in the rear LCA's. When a bolt is seized, the removal usually requires destoying the suspension bushing that is pressed into the LCA.

This either means both purchasing and installing a new bushing into the factory LCA.What most people do instead of buying an OE bushing is to go purchase a set of Aluminum LCAs which come with new bushings installed in all the pivot locations and have the added benefit of looking trick, if your into that sort of thing.

Most aftermarket LCA come with urethane bushing, to beef up the overall suspension component from the factory rubber bushing.
