Do I need an alignment after fitting the arm?

Yes. The manufacturer requires an alignment whenever the compensator arm is installed. The arm exists to change rear toe, so the setting has to be measured and adjusted on an alignment rig. Booking the alignment for the same day as the installation keeps the car from being driven with an unknown toe setting.

What does a compensator arm do?

On the EG6 the compensator arm supports the rear toe angle, and the manufacturer calls it an important arm for that reason. With a turnbuckle in the arm, toe can be set in small increments to match the handling you want, whether the car is used on the street or on a circuit.

Is the Rear Compensator Arm for EG6 intended for US-market Civics?

No. The Rear Compensator Arm for EG6 cars is designed for the Japanese-market EG6 Civic SiR with the B16A engine and may not fit a US-market EG Civic. If your car is a US model or a converted chassis, check with Bulletproof Automotive before ordering so the fitment can be discussed.

Why replace the bushing with a pillow ball?

A rubber bushing deflects under load, which can cause judder and lets the alignment shift as the suspension works. A pillow ball joint does not give in the same way, so the manufacturer says it eliminates judder and reduces unwanted alignment changes during suspension input, keeping toe where you set it.

What does the compensator arm work best with?

The manufacturer says the compensator arm allows a more ideal setup when combined with its adjustable front upper arms and rear upper arms, sold separately. Together they give camber control at both ends plus rear toe, which is the most complete alignment package for the EG6.

Description

J’s Racing Rear Compensator Arm for EG6 Honda Civic

J’s Racing’s Rear Compensator Arm for EG6 Civic SiR chassis targets the arm that supports the rear toe angle, which J’s Racing describes as an important link in the rear suspension. The Osaka Honda specialist converts the arm to pillow ball joints and builds a turnbuckle into its body, so toe can be adjusted in fine steps instead of living with the factory value. Replacing the bushing with a pillow ball also removes judder and limits unwanted alignment change as the suspension moves. It is aimed at owners fine-tuning a circuit or autocross EG6; a daily driver on stock geometry gains little.

Tips

J’s Racing designed this arm to work as part of a set. Used together with its separately sold adjustable front upper arms and rear upper arms, it allows a more complete alignment, with camber controlled at both ends and toe at the rear. Whatever combination you run, an alignment must be carried out when the arm is installed.

Features

Turnbuckle built into the arm for fine rear toe adjustment
Pillow ball joint in place of the rubber bushing
Removes judder from the bushing area
Reduces unwanted alignment change under suspension load
More freedom to tune handling for street or circuit

Applications

Honda Civic SiR: EG6 | 1991-1995 | 1.6L B16A

About J’s Racing

J’s Racing was established in Osaka in 1989, as VTEC engines and lightweight Civics and Integras were changing what a Honda could do, and it has built parts for Hondas ever since. The company develops engine response, suspension, braking, cooling and aerodynamics together as one system, then proves the parts in time attack, gymkhana, endurance and circuit racing. Its Fit lapped Tsukuba Circuit in 1’00.459, and its naturally aspirated AP1 S2000, the Maou car, became the company’s reference build for the Honda roadster. Every J’s Racing part is designed and tested in Japan, and J’s Racing USA in Carson, California handles distribution in the United States.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
