Skunk2 Racing [96-00 Civic] Ultra Series Rear Lower Control Arms - Black Anodized, SKK542-05-2295

Skunk2 has done it again. While others are busy imitating our LCA's, Skunk2 engineers have spent years of extensive R & D to revolutionize a product that was once thought to be dialed in. Skunk2 is proud to announce the release of its Ultra Series Lower Control Arms for the '88-'95 Civic/ CRX and '90-'01 Integra. The Ultra Series LCA's are based off of the same technology the company's been using in its own race cars for 20 years. Skunk2's Rear Lower Control Arms are direct replacements, maintain OEM suspension geometry, and are ideal for street and race applications. The Ultra Series Lower Control Arm offers the hardcore racer and discerning enthusiast, the very best of the best. In a market full of 'Me Too' Product, and recycled, annealed lower control arms, we took the Lower Control Arm back to the drawing board. Often not used due to the higher cost, we chose 7075-T6 because of its exceptional strength to weight ratio and fatigue strength. With an ultimate tensile strength of over 78,000 PSI, and fatigue strength of 23,000 psi for 500 million cycles – This is the perfect material for our game changing Ultra LCA's. The result of our hard work is a 7075-T6 Forged Aluminum LCA, that is 19% lighter and 27% 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 sub frame 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 select combination of bushings allows the most comfort and control under any driving conditions. For hardcore race level handling, we have also added the option to replace the sub frame side elastomeric bushing with a high load steel spherical bushing for a no-nonsense track car. The bushing change can be done in minutes with basic tools Ultra Series Control Arm Set; Lower; 44 Percent Lighter Than OEM; Incl. Spherical Wheel Hub Joint/Elastomeric Bushings; Forged 7075-T6 Aluminum; Black Anodized; Set of 2;

Upgrade the rear suspension of your 1996-2000 Honda Civic with Skunk2 Racing Ultra Series Lower Control Arms, part number SKK542-05-2295. Designed as direct replacements for the original arms, this set maintains OEM suspension geometry while providing improved strength, reduced weight, and enhanced control for street and race applications.

• Feature: Forged 7075-T6 aluminum construction for a strong, lightweight design
• Feature: Includes high-load spherical wheel hub joints and tuned elastomeric bushings

Skunk2 Racing developed its Ultra Series Lower Control Arms using suspension technology proven in the company’s race cars. The forged 7075-T6 aluminum construction delivers a 19 percent weight reduction and 27 percent greater strength compared with the previous-generation Skunk2 Pro Series arms. The result is a durable control arm designed to withstand demanding driving conditions while reducing unsprung weight for more responsive suspension performance.

The outboard high-load steel spherical bearing helps eliminate bushing twist, while the tuned inboard elastomeric bushing helps manage noise, vibration, and harshness for improved street usability. Delrin bushings at the shock mounting position provide low friction and minimal deflection, supporting more consistent shock control. For dedicated track use, the inboard elastomeric bushing can be replaced with an optional high-load steel spherical bushing using basic tools. Finished in black anodizing, the SKK542-05-2295 control arm set includes two rear lower control arms and is engineered for compatible 1996-2000 Honda Civic applications.
