Default rear lower control arms?

Im thinking about getting new lower control arms what would be the best ones to get. i heard that blox is shorter then OEM. theres a few others out there like omni, skunk2, function 7 etc. what would be the best bang for the buck?

Function7s are too baller for me.

I like the skunk2s in gold/champagne.

but best bang for the buck is probably Omni, Blox or Megan

Do you really need them? If so, look into the manufacturing process and design for the strongest/lightest/blah blah blah....If it is for bling, pick your favorite color.

thanks for all your replies. i got alot of thinking and researching still to do. this isnt easy like my cb accord is. a civic is alot more aftermarket supportive on parts like this.

MEGAN RACING

Somebody mention Megan so ill post a pic. My rear lower arm is rusted and the bolt is seized in the bushing, no hole for rear sway bar aswell. thats why i want to install new ones. also i need struts. but i do have jdm itr rear arms. im going to get new springs and struts (temp only)until i can afford jdm itr coilovers.

If your stock LCA does not accommodate a rear swaybar, then yes, they serve a purpose. Also, things like the F7 lca's allow you to change your swaybar preload with different mounting points, and also have hard urethane bushings for racing.

ic, thanks for clearing that up, was wondering why theyre 100 bucks or so, yea i noticed you cant replace the stock bushings with polyurethane, i thought the hole for shocks might be lower to accomodate lower cars...
