what do they do like the after market ones
my freind said they toe out the wheels
does anyone have before and after pics or just pics of the result of them
and i am a auto xer and also a daily driver
are they for me?

 

LCA's don't have very much performance benefit, unless you consider the roughly 2.5lbs of unsprung weight savings on either side (edit: I am talking about ones that are made of aluminum alloy), and the minimization of unwanted suspension deflection with some better-than-stock bushings it seems. They are useful as replacement for the stockers when installations go bad, and bolts become seized inside the bushings of the stock lca's. The majority of aftermarket LCA's are the same length as stock I think, so using them instead of stock pieces would not affect your camber or toe.
They are an optional piece, with some benefits, but nothing dramatic.

 

any pics?

 

after i installed my omnipower LCAs, i got an alignment and the rear toe was kinda off, but it was probably that way with the stock LCAs too.

i just got them because my bolts seized up inside the stock LCAs.

 

My car riding on some older LCA's I had picked up while in Taiwan.


Another shot:

 

Just dont get the short ones, their for ricers trying to run dubs with out rubbing. they will narrow your rear track. In fact dont get any thing but the function 7. the rest dont appeal to me.

 

Function7

 

There are some pics of Function7 LCAs in this thread.

So you dont have to sift through pics, although his are cleaner.

 

i got new lca's and my toe out is horrible i had about 15-20% tread on my azenis and the right rear was so bad that the tire just blew out today after roughly 600 miles

 

You should have gotten an alignment...

the new omni-power 1s

 

Sounds like you had bend trailing arm, or perhaps a bent rear crossmember.

Meaning you took them off, dropped a bolt in each bushing and lined it up with the stock arm to compare length? I'd like a pic of that!

 

maybe you have ek arms on a non ek chassis?

 

or for that matter eg arms on an ek chassis?

 

Just wondering how much the LCA's are (function7) and how to get a pair

 

ebay,go to function 7 ebay store or just search" rear lower control arms civic"

 

I've already contacted him, thanks! (I sell them for a little cheaper than F7 does).
