I'm in the process of gathering parts to rebuild the front of my Integra and have sourced Sankei tie rods and ends. I came across Centric upper control arms on Rock Auto and was curious about the quality.
Anyone have experience with Centric Chassis parts?

I never used them but since you post this I am curious, cant find them on RA though.
Centric is the parent company for Stop Tech brakes. They are a very high quality brand and well trusted for brake/steering components.
Well now that you say that I went back to double check (its been a couple weeks since I saw them) and they are no longer listed. They now list a brand MAS part number CB90449. I believe this may be the same part number that was listed as Centric before.
Seriously curious here too, only know them for brake components.
If their brake parts are any indication, I'd avoid them.
I had a huge rant on drum brakes a while back that was from buying their kits and the parts were made quite incorrectly - on multiple kits - causing my drum brakes to back off all the time.

Never used their drum brakes, but have used several of their rotor/pad kits and separates. "Centric blanks" are some of the most popular and well regarded solid rotors you can get. I have also used a full stop tech big brake kit that worked amazingly well and was clearly top quality.

I have used Centric brake rotors with good success, but I do not recall anything else I have purchased from them. Tirerack carries their brake rotors, and probably brake pads.
The Centric parts have mysteriously disappeared from the RA catalog. What are the BITOG experiences on aftermarket chassis parts for Honda/Acura? Any recommendations?

The only aftermarket chassis parts I've ever seen that were worth the effort to install are Sankei 555, which is the OEM for many Honda and Toyota parts. Partsgeek sells them or sometimes you can get them reboxed under other labels.
Other than that I usually buy Honda from an online dealer.
