BLOX Racing Front Lower Control Arm Spherical Bearing Kit (Red) – 2002-2006 Acura RSX & 2002-2011 Honda Civic Si
The BLOX Racing Front Lower Control Arm Spherical Bearing Kit (Red) replaces the factory rubber bushings with high-performance spherical bearings on 2002-2006 Acura RSX (Base and Type-S) and 2002-2011 Honda Civic Si models (including DX, EX, LX, and other variants). This upgrade significantly reduces deflection for sharper steering response, improved cornering stability, and more precise suspension geometry. The kit features 52100 Chromium-Molybdenum steel spherical bearings with a self-lubricating PTFE liner and durable red anodized aluminum housings. It is a direct bolt-on upgrade that maintains factory mounting points while delivering measurable handling improvements for street or track use.

Suspension
Aftermarket suspension systems improve handling, ride quality, and ride height adjustment beyond what the factory suspension provides. From lowering springs and coilover kits for sport handling to lift kits and leveling kits for truck and SUV off-road capability, quality suspension components transform how a vehicle rides and handles. Popular Suspension Upgrades Popular suspension upgrades include coilover kits for adjustable ride height and damping, sport lowering springs for improved handling and reduced body roll, performance shock absorbers and strut assemblies, sway bar and end link upgrade kits, subframe brace kits, and complete suspension packages for lifted trucks and off-road SUVs. Alignment kits including camber bolts and camber arms are also frequently ordered after ride height changes. What is the difference between coilovers and lowering springs? Coilovers are complete shock and spring assemblies with adjustable ride height set by threading the spring perch on the shock...

Suspension Arms & Components
Suspension arms and components include the control arms, camber adjustment arms, traction bars, toe arms, and tie rod assemblies that define suspension geometry and connect the wheel hubs to the vehicle chassis. Quality suspension arm upgrades correct geometry on modified vehicles and replace worn factory components to restore precise handling. Popular Suspension Arm Upgrades Popular suspension arm upgrades include adjustable rear camber arm kits for correcting camber on lowered vehicles, rear traction arm replacement kits, tubular front lower control arms for improved geometry and clearance, adjustable toe arm kits, upgraded tie rod ends with improved ball joint construction, and full rear suspension arm upgrade packages for popular sport and performance platforms. Why do lowered vehicles need adjustable suspension arms? Lowering a vehicle changes the geometry of the suspension arms relative to the factory-intended range of motion, introducing excessive negative camber in the rear ...
