Remember kids: use a torque wrench, use PB Blaster, If you reuse bolts use a small amount of thread locker (too much will ruin the torque), and don’t torque/tighten anything relating to your bushings until your vehicle is ON THE GROUND. Not on a jack, on the ground with the wheels on it.
Lol “they’re not horrible but some things I wouldn’t buy, like clutch systems” man I learned the hard way. Had 2 clutch masters on my dc5 cause the first one went bad after a few days of driving
I've bought extended ball joints and steering slider block..For the ol ep3 and let me tell you it's worth it makes the front suspension feel less sloppy
Looking forward to your long term review, feel any different with it being lighter? I am also thinking to change my rear LCA with the Hardrace spherical ball variant.
Can you feel a difference and if so how is it? I just picked up a NightHawk Black Base with just under a 127k on it for $2500, clean rust free car other than some ripped seats and worn out suspension. Talked him down & all thats getting replaced anyway! K24 swap coming up in the future.
The 05/06 Type S has a lower tie bar from factory. I replaced it with our aluminum bar, not shown in this video. And I personally don't like subframe braces. It looks exactly how I wanted it to look. Thanks for your recommendations.
Do you think I can put them on my 05 Honda Element AWD? because I saw some of the seller sell DC5 lower control arms listed for DC5 and the Element. Thanks
Thank you for watching! For a 2006 that's low miles averaging 10k per year. That's not bad It all depends on the conditions of it, color as well. check engine compression first, there you'll determine if it's worth your time. If it's good condition, go for it! $5k is a great start up price!
Yes it’s amazing condition no rust anywhere! It’s a black one. It’s been garaged it’s whole life! Just the front hood has some chips do to rocks hitting it down the road. I know the guy selling it very well. Basically family. I even remember when he first bought it, and I wanted it so bad. So from what I know it’s been well taken care of as he never put any mods except a SRI everything else is bone stock!
How u liking that Type S? I just picked up a NightHawk Black Base with just under a 127k on it for $2500, clean rust free car other than some ripped seats and worn out suspension. Talked him down & all thats getting replaced anyway! K24 swap coming up in the future.
Thanks for the tip. Having the jack compress the entire assembly will minimize that effect once fully lowered. It's been 2 years and plenty of track time. They haven't failed. Your theory could be right but it hasn't happened and I doubt it will happen. I appreciate you watching and your criticism! 💯👌🏻
I'm not "sponsored by K-tuned by any means.." ,but I just want to let you know that these parts are not always made i the same factory or state.. whether they are made in USA, Japan, or even China.. they all have a chance in failing.. Companies like these don't really test each and EVERY! one of their products off the line just for reliability purposes. Sad, but true. "Visual" inspection is at best.
You can find them anywhere really except local stores. What you need to know is the size for the bushings. For example "energy suspension 21mm sway bar bushing"use Google. 👍🏻

Then how would you tighten it on the ground 😂

95 foot pounds for the 3 bolts, 43 foot pounds for the single bolts for torque specs!
I just picked this part up and getting ready to install it once it arrives. I'm curious to see how it holds up.
So far it has been reliable. The track event was successful! I think it was worth the shot I'm sure it will work for you as well.
great job on cleaning out the rust. i swear everything you did is something i need to do to my dc5. what kind of exhaust is that?
Yes Thank you! Everything came out extremely clean. Invidia Q300, you can find clips on our IG page as well as our store.

They are still holding up really well. No signs of wear on the bushings. I wouldn't recommend spherical ball variant for street use.
YIKES! 14:24 Do not tighten bushing bolts down when the suspension is unloaded. This will cause premature wear and ultimately result in torn bushings.
Cool, Thank you for the tip! No issues here even after multiple track events and thousands of miles :)
Very nice. Looks great!
Thank you!

Can I grab a replacement for that 10-pt bolts? What's the size and tread size of the bolts that came with Ktuned LCA do you know? Thank you
No torque wrench??!!
I'm allergic to them
Safety glasses! You don’t want stuff getting in your eyes 👀
You need subframe brace and tie bar to finish it off back there.

Car looking sweet! What tune does it run? Type-r ecu?
Yes indeed! I appreciate that, it's running on KTuner software. That's correct, I/E/H Type R tune. 🔥
Love your videos.
Thank you brother, I have a surprise coming soon so stay tuned :D
@@DC5RParts you were gonna help me with my ball joint issue but I found a replacement I'm @5luggeddy on ig
That's right! I remember you now! Good to have you in the RUclips Channel as well.
Are these "ktuned Rear lower control Arms n bushin" also for the type r replacements? Are they the same size ?
Bro. I got the same sway bar bushing bracket kit but my bracket mount holes are short. What part number is that bushing bracket kit?
Do you think I can put them on my 05 Honda Element AWD? because I saw some of the seller sell DC5 lower control arms listed for DC5 and the Element. Thanks
Hey man loved the vid! Thinking of making future vids of the car I buy! I’m being sold a 2006 Rsx type s for 5k with 130k miles worth it?
Thank you for watching! For a 2006 that's low miles averaging 10k per year. That's not bad
It all depends on the conditions of it, color as well.
check engine compression first, there you'll determine if it's worth your time.
If it's good condition, go for it! $5k is a great start up price!

So from what I know it’s been well taken care of as he never put any mods except a SRI everything else is bone stock!
Seems like a great pick! I would definitely go with that one. Just go through the basics such as compression test etc.

/gg new LCA you have to drop the car first before you tight it cause u gonna mess up the new LCA
