Skunk2 Alpha Rear Lower Control Arms, 1996–2000 Honda Civic
If you want your rear end to feel more tied down without turning your daily into a rattle box, the Skunk2 Alpha Civic LCAs are a solid middle ground. These Skunk2 Racing control arms use the same generative design approach Skunk2 talks about in their Ultra Series parts, then Skunk2 forges them from 6061 T6 aluminum and CNC machines them for consistent fitment and the strength where the arm actually sees load. We run these exact Skunk2 rear lower arms on our own cars because they make the suspension feel sharper without the annoying side effects you get from full race parts.
On paper, Skunk2 says these Skunk2 LCAs 1996 Civic are 15 percent lighter and 7 percent stronger than their older Pro Series, and still about 40 percent lighter than stock. In the real world, that weight drop matters because it cuts unsprung mass, so your shocks and springs do less work just to control the arm. That shows up as quicker response in transitions, better composure over bumps, and a rear end that feels less lazy when you toss the car into an autocross slalom or lean on it at a track day. If you want Civic 96-00 Alpha LCAs that you can street drive hard, this is exactly what the Alpha Series control arms Civic lineup targets, not the most extreme option, just the smart one.
Skunk2 didn’t just throw stiff bushings at the problem either. On the trailing arm side you get a spherical bearing, so the arm doesn’t wind up and fight your alignment when you load it in a corner. On the subframe side you get a high durometer elastomer bushing that keeps noise and harshness in check, so your car stays livable. Delrin shock mount bushings help the damper do its job with less squish and better feedback, which you’ll feel when you start pushing on uneven pavement. The black anodized finish holds up well, and install stays straightforward, which matters when you just want your 1996-2000 Civic rear arms to bolt on and work.
