I just did that replacing my old suspension. I had to go with new LCAs because those bolts were stuck like whoa. Hell, they're still stuck. I soaked them for a week with three different kinds of penetrating lube, air hammer, air chisle, sledge hammer, torch, NOTHING would get those bastards to budge. I got the wicked tuning LCAs from ebay and am pretty happy with them. Nothing amazing but they get the job done. And they give you an icy hot stunna look from the rear.
*edit*
Here is the thread where I asked for suggestions as to how to break loose the bolts. Several good ones in there. One might work for you. -----> cLiCkY <-----

and everyone breaks lca's. honda used the wrong kinda material on the bolt and bushing... those 2 different metals just fuse together over time.
only way to do it is to press out the bushing and replace that with a new one w/ new bolt.
The problem is they didn't use antiseize on them. Every honda I have ever done suspension on, I antiseized everything and 2 years later when I pull them off again, they come out with no problems. So make sure you antiseize everything when you put everything back together.Quoted post[/post]]
