:-) alright guys, here we go... So like I said, they are retro fitted. These are for the 2006 and up Honda Civic Si. I got ones off eBay that you can take out the rear bar that mounts to the chassis. Then I had to do a little grinding for clearance. Then I went to my local Lowes and bought some various washers, spacers, bushings etc. to make them fit. Happy modding guys!

What part did you have to grind?

Unfortunately guys, I don't have the time to take pics and show you exactly how I did. But in all honesty if you get the arms and mock them up, it should be pretty clear what you need to do to make them fit. If you're not very mechanically savvy, you probably shouldn't try it. I had to grind a little off the bottom of the arm by the outside knuckle, when the car is lowered, it rubs on the hub assembly.

cool thanks. So some washers, bushings, Grinding, and spacers......Got it. Do you have to grind down so much that it messes with the structure's integrity?

No no, just a little bit. The bushings are a self oiling bronze, then I cut them to make them fit snug inside the rubber bushings already in the arms. Also you might be able to tell from the pictures, but since the arms are wide, I had to mount them to one side on the hub assembly instead of directly in the middle. But like I said, once you take off the old arm, which takes about three minutes, and mock up the new one, you should be able to see exactly what needs to be done.

Hey I tried these arms but I didn't know where exactly to grind them and now they make a grinding/ popping sound it isn't really loud. I would very very greatly appreciate it if you could post a pic of where exactly you grind them down so I don't grind down on the wrong spot. Thanks man! props for the find!

Edit: Nevermind I found the problem the spacer I used for the adjustable part of the arm was too small. Btw for those of you that are or may try these, I am on tien s-techs and I didn't have to grind down anything for it to clear.

So I've been in contact with a suspension parts maker. I just received a prototype adjustable control arm. I will install next week and hopefully they will be on the market soon. They have asked me not to show pictures or anything yet, so I will respect that. Stay tuned for updates!
