Part or Product:
Megan Racing Rear Lower Control Arms
MR-CA-Ai94 - 94-01 Integra (will fit 90-93s with no issues)
From Megan’s web site:
LCA s are an essential part to your car s suspension. When lowering your car your wheels will start to butterfly inward at the top which makes your tires ride on the edge. This increases wear on your tires as the sidewalls are the weakest part of your tire. This also means that there is less tire on the ground which means loss of traction around turns. LCA s reduce camber so that more of your tire touches the ground, keep your tires from rubbing your fender and allow for a wider wheel and tire combination. These LCA s provide light-weight performance with an enhanced appearance to your suspension. These arms are available in Red and Blue finish.
Vehicle Used:
Installed these on my 93 Integra.

Overall Thoughts:
I bought these because I need new rear LCAs for my suspension swap. They were cheap and in stock so that’s half the reason I went with them. Over all they are not a bad arm, a bit lighter then stock. Bushings are replaceable, locked in place with a flush fitting allen screw. The only down side to these arms is that the sway bar will not bolt up. You will need longer bolts and washers to space/shim it out. This is the only down fall to these arms as of right now.
When I’m working on the car tomorrow I will get pictures of the arms and how I reconnected the sway bar.
Prepare to change out those bushings within 4 months cuz they suck big floppy donkey dick! I installed mine and even preload the suspension before tightening up all the bolts and they still blew within 4 months.
I just swapped them out in favor of the stock LCA’s with ES bushings. I was going to put the ES bushings in the Blox ones but I think the ES bushings are like 2mm longer than the Blox bushings (not very certain cuz I was eyeing the measurement).
I hope you remembered to preload your suspension before tightening up all the bolts… at least that will sorta prolong the life of those cheap bushings.
Damn your shit looks dirty as fuck under there… is that snow or salt on the underside? Either way, I did something similiar about the sway bar as well. When I have time, I’m going to see if the ES bushings actually 100% fit the Blox LCA’s cuz I do like the way they look under there…
i tried the same as above. the ES bushings do not fit the megan/blox arms. not even close. i pulled that crap off my car and threw the ES bushings onto the oem arms. good to go. i also didnt want to screw around with jerry-rigging the sway bar up to it, either. the way you have it bolted up that far out, could potentially bend the metal of the arm itself (where the bolt goes through is significantly thinner). i’d get rid of them if i were you.
hey no problem bro, thats why we are all here. i totally spaced, and realized you have another thread on here that i was talking about the exact same thing…duh…anyways, yeah, i read above that you are going to replace them anyways, so , good stuff man. good luck with the project. keep 'er clean homie.
