Skunk2 is proud to announce the release of its Alpha Series Lower
Control Arms for the ’88-’95 Civic/ CRX and ’90-’01 Integra. The
Alpha Series LCA’s are based off of the same technology the
company’s been using in its own race cars for 20 years now and are a
must-have for enthusiast looking to fine-tune their suspension for
maximum handling performance while keeping budget in mind
Skunk2’s Rear Lower Control Arms are direct replacements, maintain
OEM suspension geometry, and are ideal for street and race
applications. When deciding on a material to base our new design on,
we chose very carefully, as there are many inferior annealed and
cheap versions of aluminum available on the market today. We chose
6061-T6 because of its excellent strength to weight ratio. With an
ultimate tensile strength of over 42,000 PSI, and fatigue strength
of 14,000 psi for 500 million cycles – we knew this would be perfect
for the Alpha Series Lower Control Arms. The Result of our
re-engineered Lower Control Arm is a 6061-T6 Forged Aluminum LCA,
that is 15% lighter and 7% stronger than our previous generation of
LCA’s. Accurate suspension geometry is maintained under the most
aggressive driving conditions using high load steel Spherical
bearings on the trailing arm side and tuned durometer elastomeric
bushings for the subframe side of the LCA. Delrin bushings are
utilized at the shock mounting position for their low friction and
minimal deflection for unparalleled dynamic shock control. Using
this specific combination of bushings allows the most comfort and
control under any driving conditions.
