Rep Power: 0 Lower control arms?
Does anyone have these or heard anything about them if they help our car out or not?
I know they have them for the rsx but are they the same arm for our Civics??

Rep Power: 408 Mostly bling factor. Not worth the money. No one road races that much here to effectively make use of them.OEM ones are good enough for road racing. Even SPC site says they are for show.If you check the rule books for Honda Challenge, I believe that most classes will not allow the use of aftermarket LCA's.

Rep Power: 356 Its not really something that you would be able to feel... but say if you did a lot of track days and did a before/after test you'd probably shave off a tenth or two of your lap times.... The lighter control arms just let the suspension work a little better.

Weighing in at 1.5 lbs each, these billet 7075-T6 (significantly stronger than the 6061-T6 used for most billet products) aluminum control arms not only save weight, they also allow easy adjustment of camber with their optional adjustable polyurethane camber bushings and easy installation of sway bars! These arms come standard with non-adjustable polyurethane bushings that do not affect the track of your car!
