Rear LCAs

I didn't get them when I did my Integra, 3 bolts broke, and the stock LCAs were not saveable. Car sat for days until the new ones got delivered.

I've never broken a front lca bolt, however rears...haha they are almost guaranteed break. Buy some new rear lower control arms a new bolts for the rear and you'll be set.

You shouldn't break a FLCA bolt unless you're being dumb. The RLCA's are always a pain in the ass. The bolts will break off inside of them and that will stop any of your progress.

I've never needed toe/camber arms before, they should be able to get the proper amount of adjustment out of the stock stuff.

im on all stock stuff and no problems. im not super low, but i took it and had an alignment right after i lowered it. i also got lucky and broke none of the rear bolts, but like i said i soaked them with pb and let them sit before messing with it. but most other people have them break, so it never hurts to be prepared in case one does break. at least that way your car isnt sitting waiting for new parts to arrive

to lowers your car all you need is the coilover if thats what you wants.

i suggest you get some brand (budget allowing) of rear lca's because you WILL break the bot(s). if you are in the lucky 1% club with not breaking them you can sell the lca's, but why would you do that. just put them on.

camber kits are not needed to lower your car, but if you want to run stock alignment specs, or close to them, on your car then you would want them.

I know forums are a place for questions.. but have u even googled the idea at all? 2.5 -3in drop is pretty substantianal... 1/2-1in is smal to not much drop btw.. (i think) and alot of the extra pieces.. camber kits/arms etc help to fix the toe as well as ride comfort and tire ware..
