Hi all!!! Proud owner of a JDM 2012 GE8 Fit RS, I have been building the car up and next step is re-enforcing bars top and bottom. As the GE8 is showing its age; there are alot of used parts in good condition showing up locally. One part that I've come across and am considering is a pair of Hardrace LCAs. Coming from Preludes, Integras and Civics, myself, I am not entirely sure how or what difference these would make compared to the stock arms - I mean they are none adjustable or anything, seems like a direct replacement to the stock arms just for throwing a part on the car? For the price I can get the pair for, the bushings alone in them would be worth it (USD65...LOL).

Thanks for any inputs/comments!

 

I'm not familiar with folks wanting more robust control arms on street cars. More of an off-road durability thing based on my experience. Thicker. Dudes with trucks flipping their ball joints upside-down so that they stay in place (hopefully) if the castle nut gets busted off or somethin. If there's some weight savings to be had, or they.. look cool. That'd be it for pros that I can imagine. Rally? Rally use might encourage such a thing. I'd first want to know that the bushings aint different from oem in size and thus, hard to replace later. same goes for the ball joint.
