Skunk2 Alpha Rear Lower Control Arms are direct replacements for the factory OEM arms, and are ideal for street and race applications. Benchmarking off of our previous LCA design, our goal was to design an arm that was lighter, stronger, and more durable without increased noise, vibration, or harshness (NVH). The inboard bushing features a large tuned durometer elastomeric bushing, that is hard enough for improved handling performance yet compliant enough to minimize unwanted increase in NVH, while the lower shock mount utilizes Delrin bushings for reduced friction and minimal deflection for improved dynamic shock control. For improved bushing life, the latest materials were used, and a high-precision spherical bearing on the trailing arm side was utilized to reduce twist at the inboard bushing. Even though a second spherical bearing for the inboard pick up point is offered as a racing upgrade, we chose to use only one spherical bearing to minimize unwanted increases in NVH for street use. By using this specific combination of bushings, handling performance and control is improved significantly without compromising NVH or comfort.

Upgrade your Honda Civic with the Skunk2 Racing Alpha Series Rear Lower Control Arms, designed to enhance handling and durability for street and race applications. Crafted from CNC-machined forged 6061-T6 aluminum with a sleek gold anodized finish, these control arms are 40% lighter than OEM components, reducing unsprung weight to improve overall vehicle responsiveness. Their high-strength construction ensures improved stability and control during aggressive driving or track days. The Alpha Series incorporates Delrin bushings at the shock mount for reduced friction and enhanced shock performance, while the outboard spherical bearing minimizes bushing twist, providing precise wheel hub movement. The tuned polyurethane inboard bushing strikes a balance between firm handling and noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) control, making these arms suitable for high-performance street use. Although a racing upgrade featuring dual spherical bearings is available, the single spherical bearing design optimizes NVH characteristics for daily driving. These control arms are a direct replacement for factory units, offering a straightforward upgrade that improves handling, durability, and ride quality without sacrificing comfort. Suitable for 2000 and 1999 Honda Civics, the Skunk2 Alpha Series arms are a reliable choice for enthusiasts seeking performance and longevity in their suspension components.
