Ima drop my car with these coilovers that i got. Ima go the lowest, i think its 3 inches , not sure..

but im wondering if i need a pair of control arms to go that low? or can i ride with the stock ones for a while until i can get them later.?

yeah u do. if u dont get them the poly bushing in the exhust doesnt clean the ground and the lowering control amrs fix that....







no u dont need them they are eye candy apposed to any thing else.

if u get blox lower control arms they are cosmetic. but the more pricy ones such as function, skunk2, omni all have a sway bar bushing.

but no you do not need lower control arms to lower your car..

OP, they're lower control arms, not lowering control arms.

Aftermarket lower control arms, by and large, are a cosmetic item. You don't need them to lower a car.

nope they are not needed. like stated they are for looks and that's about it unless you are going to want to run a rear sway bar

which by the way just wanted to mention that the blox LCA's have the extra bolt hole to install an aftermarker rear sway bar on the car

i included a picture of my car to show the mounting location.....in due time when you get the money available i do suggest the addition of a rear swaybar, they help the handling out so much

Lowering/Lower .. (same ishh)

but koo, thanx

Also, when im looking for those skunk 2 ones it doesnt say if they are rear or front, or all 4 come in it?
Only Blox say rear.

You only change the rear lca's, leave the front alone...upper control arms are what get changed in the front so camber can be adjusted

blox are junk. dont get them lol. Im almost sure everyone can vouch for me on this. I have buddy club n spec full coilovers and my bushings in the blox lasted about say. 4 months before they started sagging like an old lady. Thank god for moog replacements and a lifetime warranty ha

Did you torque them down (the bushings on the Blox LCAs) when the car was still jacked up, or when it was back on the ground with the weight of the car on them?
