Are they any good? | K-Tuned Rear Control Arm Install | Episode 30

[@minecraftman442]

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.

[@gousaaa5602]

Then how would you tighten it on the ground 😂

[@Frenchyk]

I just picked this part up and getting ready to install it once it arrives. I'm curious to see how it holds up.

[@DC5RParts]

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.

[@andrewdmitri5821]

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

[@SoJ1RoTV]

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?

[@DC5RParts]

Yes Thank you! Everything came out extremely clean. Invidia Q300, you can find clips on our IG page as well as our store.

[@lucbegin7334]

95 foot pounds for the 3 bolts, 43 foot pounds for the single bolts for torque specs!

[@ShaggyEP_]

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

[@itsracer7495]

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.

[@DC5RParts]

They are still holding up really well. No signs of wear on the bushings. I wouldn't recommend spherical ball variant for street use.

[@singleCamTrackEF]

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.

[@DC5RParts]

Cool, Thank you for the tip! No issues here even after multiple track events and thousands of miles :)

[@patrickbz5272]

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

[@garrettsmith8286]

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.

[@bhadz100]

Car looking sweet! What tune does it run? Type-r ecu?

[@DC5RParts]

Yes indeed! I appreciate that, it's running on KTuner software. That's correct, I/E/H Type R tune. 🔥

[@michaelwebb7787]

You need subframe brace and tie bar to finish it off back there.

[@DC5RParts]

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.

[@darryltodd4710]

No torque wrench??!!

[@DC5RParts]

I'm allergic to them

[@concepcionjose72]

Are those pepboys sway bar bushings??

[@DC5RParts]

Energy suspension bushings. Quality stuff only. 💪🏻

[@concepcionjose72]

@@DC5RParts where did you buy them?

[@DC5RParts]

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. 👍🏻

[@concepcionjose72]

@@DC5RParts thanks what size are yours?

[@ariesr4883]

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?

[@kevingore-barrow7352]

What size wheel spacers are those?

[@DC5RParts]

25MM. You can find them on the website. www.DC5RParts.com

[@oak_owl]

What’s the size on the 10 point socket?

[@kevinzhou9704]

Are these "ktuned Rear lower control Arms n bushin" also for the type r replacements? Are they the same size ?

[@glenchitty1515]

Very nice. Looks great!

[@DC5RParts]

Thank you!

[@idrcookiez620]

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?

[@DC5RParts]

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!

[@idrcookiez620]

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!

[@DC5RParts]

Seems like a great pick! I would definitely go with that one. Just go through the basics such as compression test etc.

[@garrettsmith8286]

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.

[@erickbalan7928]

Do you happen to know if the bolt part num the same with JDM DC5R 2003?

[@DC5RParts]

Yes it should be, no difference there

Buenos vídeos saludos

Gracias! Que bueno saber que te gusten!

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

Love your videos.

Thank you brother, I have a surprise coming soon so stay tuned :D

Thank you! 🙏🏻

Do all the part number you give , work on the 2002-2004 models ????

[@DC5RParts]

Yes, it will be the same.

[@HotRod-wv4vm]

Safety glasses! You don’t want stuff getting in your eyes 👀

[@537R4HC]

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

[@DC5RParts]

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! 💯👌🏻
