Default Where to get rear LCA's?

Well. As you guys probably know. I've been having more problems with my rear suspension than it's worth. I did manage to get my rear shocks off and assemble my new ones. The bushings where the shock fork meets the rear LCA is well...shot. I've tried to find new bushings at Atuozone, Napa, and Advance Auto. Then I saw a person I know and he even said it wasn't worth it to get new bushings, just replace the LCA. So uh, where can I get LCA's? I'm willing to hear any option right about now. It's been a week so far to do a four hour job.

Don'tcha guys love my long ass stories just to get to a simple question?

You can buy new stock LCA's from Honda. They are about $130 a piece. You can junkyard them and maybe get a ok pair for less than $50. Or you can buy some aluminum ones (ones like Omnipower that don't alter the suspension at all) for about a hundred bucks.

eBay...the Megan racing ones aren't bad at all....pretty good quality and lightweight too....omni are basically the same as well...whichver's cheaper.

I would actually avoid the Megan Racing ones... a lot of people have bushing issues and fitment problems with them.

I do highly recommend the OmniPower ones.

Nope you should have all those from your previous LCA. If you don't you can get them from a dealership they should stock them it's a fairly common/popular size.

Thats not expensive. You might be able to get a higher class bolt at the hardware for a decent price.
(Metric doesnt come in grade catagory, so dont let anyone tell you that a grade 8 is the same as a class 8.8 - class is slightly weaker, but 8.8 will be alright...not great, but alright.)
The bolt size is 10x1.25mm (get stainless if they have them in that size and class)

McMasterCarr sells an 80mm long 10x1.25 class 8.8 in packs of 10 for $6.29, if you want to order and wait - but check the hardware stores first
