Yeah, control arm. The two arms, one long and one short at each side. So, I guess stock replacement will do. I was actually wondering those advertised performance control arm like those known as Hardrace makes any difference or not.
From your description, I think stock rubber bushing will do for the control arms as my car is not a track car or even modded.
i am a sucker for chrome bling bling
hmm about these bling lower arms and subframe brace, also thought about them..... dont know if they are actually functional (assuming the specs are the same)
maybe just lighter?
also im abit wary of fake pieces... hardrace should be ok i guess, havent heard of fakes

For Wira, I remember at the rear got the dog bone link, that one can make noise one.....
Yeah, that is what my mechanic calls them. Dog bone. No idea what is the english name.
Might as well not use at all. My car got one, but it looks like got no function
Proper term is control arm then?
Installed 18 years ago by my father. Just left it there like that.
Lately I'm doing research on ARB also. Want to get front and rear. Surveying price and thinking which one to get. Ultra Racing or ori Evo 3 halfcut. I believe in Evo 3 more but since they are so old, I wonder will they still be useful or not. Like maybe the shape is bent or distorted already?
Post directly at his thread to ask.

Evo 3 & satria gti uses drop link for their ARB. Evo 3 is 16mm but drop link for the front. The wira C99 comes with 23mm satay bush type arb. So make sure you absorber have the place to mount the drop link before converting. just my 2centss
Just lighter that's all? I actually thought they offer some benefits like stronger rigidity or something like that. If they just lighter with PU bushing, then perhaps getting OEM parts is enough. One thing is for sure, I'm not trusting those fake ASR, Beaks aluminum bar being sold out there. Most of them are fake and the original manufacturers only make parts for Honda cars. Imagine the horror when your lower arm breaks or cracks halfway while driving. I've seen pictures of that happening before.
Chrome bling on parts? I sort of like them too but it depends on what parts. Chrome intake manifold seems nice. Or chrome velocity stack for itb or those weber carb.

honestly dont know if its just lighter... i suspect so, i mean the original arms lasted sooooo many years without bending, not sure if you actually need added rigidity here.
fake stuff... well i dont trust them, lower arms are crucial components, pecah then habislah......
i think the only fake bit (that i know off) on my car would be the radiator cap haha (shop kata japanese, doesnt look that way to me
from what i saw last time.... if im not wrong, it depends on the model.... some higher end variants had droplinks others did not. better take a peek before buying them haha
