Gotta love stock LCA's. Do not buy a Blox product, I had mine for less than a year and the bushings are destroyed already. I have heard a lot of negative feedback on Skunk2 LCA's also. I would suggest Function7's or Buddy Club's.

The new Skunk2s have poly bushings.

BTW, with an impact hard enough to split the LCA in half, I would check the rest of your suspension.

When you installed the Blox LCA's, did you torque them down correctly when the car was still suspended, or did you torque them down completely after the weight of the car was put on the suspension (basically when you took it off the jacks)?

i say f7.

but be aware aftermarket LCAs won't help you out any better then that did. its less likely to hold up to a crash over OEM and are mostly for visual not purpose.

Hi,

Our arms are designed to bend rather than break, allowing the car to be limped home instead of being trailered home on a towtruck. Over the years (almost 10!!) we've had zero incidents of our arms snapping in all sorts of track incidents as well as traffic accidents on the street.

We have and will continue replace any bent arms under the standard lifetime warranty on our products.

I hope this information helps you make your decision.

Thanks!
