Skunk2 Compliance Arm Kit – ’96–’00 Honda Civic (Excludes EM1 Si)

The Skunk2 Compliance Arm Kit is a direct replacement for the 1996–2000 Honda Civic DX, LX, and EX, designed to restore suspension geometry and improve performance handling. This kit replaces the front compliance arms — a critical suspension component that connects the front lower control arms to the chassis — ensuring proper wheel alignment and front-end stability.

Manufactured from high-strength materials and precision-engineered for factory fitment, Skunk2’s compliance arms are the perfect solution for replacing worn, damaged, or aged OEM components. They’re also required for use with Skunk2’s Front Lower Control Arms, whether equipped with spherical bearings or hard rubber bushings, making them a must-have upgrade for serious performance builds.

Instead of sourcing old, used parts, this brand-new replacement provides the durability, precision, and reliability expected from Skunk2 Racing. The kit is engineered for enthusiasts seeking improved handling response, suspension precision, and long-term dependability.
