Just saw these on Nopi.
SPC performance, a company I have never heard of makes some pretty nice looking rear lower control arms for our cars, or so nopi says.

Anyone ever seen these or tried em?
i've never heard of them but i was thinking of making my own control arms for the rear out of tubular steel or maybe get some laser cut like that at my work
Be careful with nopi, they sold military mase and I rear lower ploy bushings that didnt fit our cars. They were for the 4g accord. When I called and asked them about it, they told me they got the info from the company. I saw those, but I am a little weary to buy them.
Hmm I've never actually seen the 3gees' rear LCA. I've seen the rear UCA and rear trailing arm. Anyways, $81 bux is not bad. Hopefully they make more aluminum suspension parts for the 3gee. A pair of LCA's is not gonna do much good on the suspension by themselves. Would be a waste of money.

Yeah, the only thing I could think of is that that's not a LCA, that's the trailing arm (Figure # 19).
In that case, I'm down for a set of lighter trailing arms! :rockon:

hmm...since iceman said he'd like a some in aluminum i'll see if i can get some routered at work out of 3/8" or something
Well, I'm not jumping to conclusions myself. Looks like it's missing a few bolt holes and sway bar endlink holes to be confirmed as being the trailing arm. I wish they put the dimensions of that thing on their site. Like you said, watch out for Nopi. Looks can be deceiving when it comes to them, I guess.Quote:

Is this the same company on ebay offering Rear adjustable upper control arms for $149.00 if so sounds like they are putting some R&D for the 3rd gen maybe because its an easy R&D project.

I was thinking about trying a set of these.
We'll see.
i would say that the 1st link in the thread is for a trailing arm
neither LCA looks anything like that or has as many holes for bolts as that does
so id say im 98% sure they are trailing arms
*edit*
im gonna look at my trailing arms on my SEi setup i have in the garage tomorrow and make sure
