lower control arms really? i mean i know they reduce chasis flex but i already have a rear lower tie bar and rear upper strut bar. are the lower control arms really needed or are they Necessary support rather than extra uneeded support? heres my setup. tein basics, tanabe sustec front strut bar, rear lower arm bar, rear upper strut bar, and im about to purchase a rear lower sway bar by progress. again do i need the control arms? im specifically setting my car up for autox slash DD. all input is needed. thanks.

lol i was gona say...you can just get a master bushing kit from energy if they make one for our car...most people around here replace their rear LCAs only for the look of it. GL

i don't know what gen civic you have, but 7th gens do NOT use control arms, they use trailing arms in the rear.

Changing out the control arms is worthless. Though they do look pretty.
