price HEAVILY suggests knockoff. (especially with the brace)
lack of label and barcode (all though not all of their products have this)
hardware supplied looks a little off
"ePacket delivery from China" I think this screams the answer

To be sure, you could always contact F7 and ask if they are a dealer/distributor.
I went to that function 7 site and clicked on distributors and could only find 2 sites that actually seemed to have these rear lower control arms and i chose king motorsports.
My oem rear lower Control arms are different because the passenger side one has a slight curve but both of these function 7 ones look identical. What's up with that and what problems will it create?
They should be mirror images of each other. The only difference may be where the sway bar attaches, or a different "stagger" in the bushing placement.
If one of the ones on your car now is bent unlike like the other, it has probably been bent by hitting a curb or something.
And you don't have "Function 7"s but knockoffs. They may have simply made both the same to save manufacturing costs. Or you ended up with two "lefts" or two "rights" by mistake. The OEM ones have a "L" or "R" cast into the metal.
OP ended up getting authentic Function 7 arms from Kingmotorsports per his post above. I'm pretty sure mine were identical when I installed them, no L or R designation. If you have a curve in your OEM arm, it is probably bent as stated by mk378.

correct- i got authentic function 7.
HOWEVER, the OEM passenger side rear lower control arm on the EG DOES have a slight bend to it and honda made it that way. This hondatech thread pointed that out to me.

now i need to know what problems this will create? Can i use my function 7?

Don't know alot about the EG suspension. Looks like the curve in the arm was there whether or not the car was originally equipped with a sway bar? Maybe your driver or passenger side arm was changed by the previous owner at some point is why they don't match. Either way I don't think you'll have a problem installing them. Many people before you have installed them and most aftermarket companies seem to make arms that fit either side. You can try e-mailing Function-7 directly for a definite answer.
Let see photo of your current LCA.. which one is bent and which is not.
im tellin ya, the passenger side oem trailing arm is bent on the eg and honda bent it, not me and not a previous owner.
I'll post pictures but it's already a known fact its bent. I was really hoping someone would say that it's fine to use the function 7 or not or that i may need a rear camber kit or something like that
This doesn't make any sense. The trailing arm is bent? The trailing arms and control arms are identical on both sides, just mirrored. If there's a bend on the passenger side and not the driver , than it's a different part or something is wrong. Where is it a know fact that only the passenger side is bent? The only info I'm coming up with is that some eg's, integra's del sol's have a bend in the LCA to allow for a sway bar. A rear camber kit has nothing to do with this issue. Your overthinking this. If King sent you the correct control arms, install them and preload the suspension. Check for clearances. I haven't seen a single thread where someone had an issue installing aftermarket LCA 'a on an EG.
^^ exactly. Just want to see what is currently installed your car to verify whether someone had mixed lca installed. Dont have to get all worked up bout it. Trying to help you, not throw u under the bus.
EG on top EK on bottom, both OEM lca
Which one are installed currently?
Integra lca, except itr, are same as eg except it have sway bar mount provision.
To answer your will it fit question. Yes it will be fine with your new function 7 lca. They will work perfect. No issue. Problem here is trying to figure out what you said is bent on your current setup.
Looks bent from hitting a curb, etc..., but, I digress. You will not have any issues with installing the F7 arms. Just make sure your F7 arms slide into the trailing arm side straight. Your bushings there look at an angle and a little wonky. Be sure to pre-load the bushings before the final torque.

Don't really need to "clock" the bushings with the F7 arms. The way the crush tube and urethane bushings are, there isn't anything binding. The urethane bushing is free to pivot around the crush tube, unlike a rubber bushing.
Are these authentic Function7?
