They are all not the same. They wouldnt put a 200$ price for a brand name its the quality that they use on their parts and material. From all of the threads that I have read F7 and Skunk2 are one of the best.

that is a plus but they do make a huge difference because of the bushings are stiffer then the OEM ones, i have the skunk 2 ones and a BEAKS rear subframe brace and it handles like its on rails with spoon rear strut bar!! I would suggest s2's from personal experience

less weight *l* that's funny
top 3
1. Replace worn bushings. Honestly most LCA's are cheaper than buying replacement bushings from honda and having them pressed in.
2. Sway Bar mounts if you don't have
3. Pimping undercarriage.
and i can't believe that there is a difference between these parts by manufacturer, i've never seen any posts from people reporting bent/broke lca's

not really a big fan of the bushings that any of the LCA manufacturers give you, my next plan of attack is the progress spherical bushings for the stock LCAs, no deflection and no binding

Re: LCA's Lower Control Arms Brands (ls-ejcoupe)
I would run the Skunk2's... The reason why is that, they run polyurethane inserts in their LCA's set up's Most compnaies use a harder grade of rubber. But, rubber tends to fail more often in then polyurethane would.
I run these on my SFWD car too...

polyurethane still isn't the best option. its just cheap and easier.

So what do you think a SOLID METAL BUSHING is going to feel / react like?

What i am saying is that you can feel bumps on the road more with the poly then the hardrubber bushings

It's because most of them that use it are hardparkers.
