Sorry if this is a repost, someone brought this up when it was in the R&D stage. Looks like they're available now. 2.2lb, billet aluminum. They come in ploished and jdm flat black.

Here's the link: http://store.hybridgarage.com/...0008D

Yeah I'm going on 2 months of waiting for an order, and I have a wholesale account with them.

I hear they are trying to turn the business around, but in the mean time they need to catch up on orders or hit the phones and tell people what's up.

I am.

Not one bad experience with Hybrid Garage Either. They help me and ITRCA out a LOT. If somoen is back ordered on a set of LCA's I will happily send mine out for them.

I think Nerv2g much like others seems to be short sited enough not to see the other side. I don't know his story but to chime in one sided like that is pretty weak. No need to hash it out here either.

 

glad to get both sides..

what do you think of them, trey? the LCAs that is..

 

Lightweight, nicely made and very bling. The CNC'd forged aluminum is so sweet. They have been raced on our civic and they do very well.

Nice, thinking of getting a set myself...

exactly why i was wondering.. the bling factor doesn't really come into play for me.. can you feel a difference from the OEM LCAs? is it dramatic? can you describe it?

 

Trey - I know ITRCA is hosted by hybrid and you have a great relationship with them. I find their LCA's to be a really neat product.

The problem is their service right now. Orders are taking forever, and it's near impossible to reach them. A search reveals many threads about this.

No it was just a joke, but they do come in flat black if you don't like shiny.

 

try getting them on the phone, it's seriously not possible.

if you have ever felt the weight of an itr lca you may not spend the $ on this product . it is benficial to run aluminum lca over a solid piece like the civic ones which are really heavy and somehow not strong either. make sure you actually hold an itr lca in your hand before you decide top spend the $ on these.

edit: there was a lenghty post in the tech forum about bushings, the rear lca bushings do not move only up/down, there is also sideways motion. using poly bushings for these, as well as the trailing arm bushings, may cause suspension binding.

 

ASAHI- I took me 5 1/2 MONTHS to get my fuel pump. It took my 3 1/2 MONTHS to get my cat ( so I could not put my JDM ITR header or my buddy club spec 3 on until it came). I don't give a **** if they have the best customer service in the world. Hybrid Garage could kiss my *** from the minute they pick up the phone until the minute I hang up. If I do get my product in a timely manner then what am I really buying? *** kissing? I have enough self confidence that I do not need that. When I call to order a part from a store I want the item in less then 7 buiness day unless it is back ordered. Hybrid Garage=

 

about 2 months ago, a friend of mine orders a JDM header and carsound CAT from them. About a month passed by and nothing, no parts, no email, no phonecall. After trying to get a hold of them for another 2 weeks, he got an email saying his order was cancelled. No explanation. No nothing.

Before you order anything from them, read these...

They are not forged...just billet CNC'ed

And no they don't make a difference performance-wise what so ever, maybe save a 0.5 lbs each at most. I wouldn't call it unsprung weight cause one end is connected to the car. They sure as hell look nice though
