Default Which rear LCA should I get???

I don't know what's good out there for Rear Lower Control Arms, so please give me some feed back on what you think I should go with. I have a 98 hatch.

-Do any of them come with rubber bushings??

I would suggest either Megan lower control arms. Or, you can go OEM and get GSR lower control arms.

I also heard that they will not mount right sometimes. I will be using Omni.

i am running megan racing lca's and i personally love them, bushings are still good, fit great, and sway bar mounts correctly as well, i might have gotten a good set, or there is just alot of trash being talked about them because their a relatively new brand who knows.

I have K Sports on my 96 coupe, they do have mounting holes for the sway bar and run about 199.99 a pair. I had them for a year now and have not had a problem. I dont know about Omni's lately there have been numerous threads about their Omni parts breaking and them having crappy customer service.

OEM ITR LCA'S work quite well. Very useful if you want to maintain a low profile..

those are function7's, holy shiet those are pricey though i htink they cost like 250 or more a pair, but they can pretty much withstand a mine field.

does anyone know which LCA's have polyurethane bushings and which ones are just crappy vulcanized rubber? also which ones have easy ones to replace that don't cost the price of the LCA itself?

Mine have polyurethane. Function 7 uses polyurethane made by energy suspension at their specs.

They are great arms all the way around. Also have the sway bar holes. They also make a nice kit to install the sway bar. Very polite and easy to deal with.

Great customer service.

they allow you to run wider wheels so the inner wheel dosent rub up agenst the conrol arm, sometime can fix slight camber issues, and offer holes for sway bar endlinks to mount up where there aren't any on dx/lx control arms, and quality ones have polyurthane bushings
