if you dont care about replacing the bushings after a year or so, their not that bad. i didnt really run into any problems when i had them and i had my type r sway bar mounted in the rear as well.

although i did perfer the Function7's. IMO, they were better looking and more durable.

No offense J.Wolfe, I've done my research and know my parts. I don't have to qualify to you why they are junk. Ask around to other users and to professionals first before wanting to buy something and then be upset when you got a shitty product. I KNOW Blox LCAs have a strong tendency for the bushings to go bad, the metal around the bushings to rust and I know for 100% that the sway bar mountings for OEM swaybars i.e. JDM ITR(23mm) and US ITR(22mm) along with any other 14mm Honda swaybar do not mount properly.

When you are 30 and have been driving for half your life and have been with hondas for more than 10+ years(since 1998) You know alittle bit about the industry and the companies that produce parts and what kind of quality they produce, along with time tested results. Like for instance. I know Greddy exhausts tend to blow the baffling out of their mufflers. this has happened to me and my family(my wife and her brother) on 3 different exhausts. I would never buy a Greddy Evo or SP setup. I can say those Greddy Exhausts suck without having to explain it everyone. If you would like to know ask me in a PM or state it more cautiously in a post. Throwing the old out there doesn't leave me with a whole lot of resovle to answer your questions. Thank Zac Carter for doing it the nice way. I'll do it the blunt matter-of-fact way.

I'm a little surprised that I haven't seen that climate control before. Which trim did it come off of?

So I thought my buyer flaked.... then he showed up at a car meet I was at Sunday wanting to look at it and get info on it... today he got the money and is buying it pending a test drive.... So it looks like this is my last week with my gsr

But I found a 87 325es in red and in good shape for a little under a grand so I'll be buying that sunday hopefully, right now I have dibs on it first (I know the guy)... can you say 3k build budget

id say just save yourself the hassle and buy one with the plastic bumpers. its alot of work to get the rear one swapped out. cutting welding fitting etc

Yeah I'm sure... I'll just see which one I like most. I think my first problem will be deciding on wheels... Borbet Type A's and BBS RS's are amazing on them but I dunno.. they are getting kinda over done on them.. but I guess there is a reason for that lol

HA! thanks for asking

I would recommend Skunk2 and Omnipowers. I've heard about 50/50 on the omnis. the first gen don't have the correct sway bar points but these later models do with ALOT better bushings.



Sadly companies like Function Form, D2/Ksport, Blox, PIC don't offer the correct sway bar bolt holes. My D2 LCAs had very nice bushings in them and i had them for years with NO issues. My function forms right now are already noisey. I would probably buy Skunk2 or Function7s myself.
