Upgrading Rear LCA. OPINIONS!
I got new LCAs because I needed new bushings and my old ones were really just unuseable. The difference I noticed was just the fact that I had bushings again. I don't see new LCAs making a big difference but if you want the sway bar holes or bling or the old ones are just rusted crap then it makes sense.
Are the aftermarket LCA's the same length? I thought I read somewhere that they were shorter to pull the tire in at the bottom alittle. I hate the poly bushings, I would buy aftermarket just to get rubber bushings back (for almost the price of the OEM bushings), if they were the same length as stock ones.
most aftermarket lcas r the same length. the only ones i know that r shorter to help with camber is the spc units. the poly bushings offer a better performance standpoint then the oem rubbers. the oem units r equip with rubber bushings. im not sure what u mean in ur post. but any aftermarket lcas besides the spc offers stock replacement wit the same length as the oems ones, along with being 2lbs lighter, poly bushings, a hole for the sway bar, and the bling factor.

Good to know about the length. I was just saying that getting new rubber bushings would be almost as cheap and easier if I just bought aftermarket LCA.
Although I have poly bushings in my OEM's now, and they are very easy to replace. I still haven't figured if the rough feeling ride from the back is from the control arm bushings or the trailing arm bushings (all being poly).
While I'm thinking of this, anyone know the part number for the OEM replacement trailing arm bushing only? - not the whole arm. 92 4dr LX

yeah the rough ride in the back is caused from the poly trailing arm bushings. u can always go with the new oem ones since they r damn near identical to the expensive mugen ones. i dont have a part no but u can find em at www.slhondaparts.com i have been riding on the es poly ta bushings for 3 years now, i have adjusted myself to it and used to the rough feeling. the only prob most ppl face with them is they bind. but like i said i havent had any problems and the whole car feels stiff with my combo of suspensions goodies.
