Alpha Series Rear Lower Control Arms

The Skunk2 Alpha Series Rear Lower Control Arms are meticulously engineered for the 1989-1995 Honda Civic/CRX and 1990-2001 Acura Integra, aiming to revolutionize your vehicle's suspension setup. These control arms are designed to surpass the performance of previous Skunk2 models. Constructed from forged 6061-T6 aluminum, known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and fatigue resistance, the Alpha Series Lower Control Arms are 15% lighter and 7% stronger than previous iterations. This significant weight reduction, along with a 40% reduction compared to OEM arms, contributes to a more responsive and dynamic driving experience by reducing unsprung weight. For optimal performance, the arms utilize high-load steel spherical bearings on the trailing arm side to maintain accurate suspension geometry under aggressive driving. Tuned durometer elastomeric bushings are used on the sub-frame side to balance comfort and control, while Delrin bushings at the shock mounting positions ensure low friction and minimal deflection for enhanced shock performance. However, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper alignment and to achieve the optimal performance benefits from these control arms.
