Default Best LCA's to get for an EK?

I wonder wich LCA's should i get and if i should get any at all. I'll get adjustable suspension and sway bar with the brace, i thought of replacing the LCA's while i'm at it. Should i do it, wich one should i get? I remember seeing once some that had a ball joint in them, what about those?
Anyway does a replacment make sense and wich one would make the most sense?

Aftermarket would not really make much sense since the stock LCA already has an endlink hole.

Function 7 (or whatever), because it has 3 mounting holes, allowing you to change preload.

Yes, but it's way cheaper to source one from a junkyard.

do you need to upgrade lca's for aftermarket if installing sway bar on a civic dx hatch?

Where should i look for the function7 LCA's? What do they go for?
How does the preload affect the swaybar handling wise?

Function sells their own sets on ebay, for prices lower than than other online shops that sell them...

The different holes make the bar act "stiffer" than it would normally (or softer, depending on the hole)
Thing is, you MUST use their endlinks with the lca's (or other aftermarket) because the stock endlinks are too short (they wont tell you this unless you specifically ask....which is retarded)

Just becaust omni makes them, doesnt mean its the same lca.
I doubt omni will use urethane bushings, that function does - they'll stick to that crappy rubber garbage

Their endlinks are like $50 or something, do you know the name of the seller on ebay that is selling the real deal, not to get succered in for a low price and end up buying crap.

We give a discounted price as long as you have a valid serial number so we can cross reference the order (i.e. the serial number will qualify you for the discount pricing).

Give us a shout if you need the linkages of if you need the HT discount code.

I just ordered a set from PIC. Customer service was wonderful, I have never dealt with someone who was willing to answer question after question. Plus the quality of their product is top notch.
