Hey, just wondering if anybody know whats the best rear lower control arms on the market right now. I've heard of omni, srr, spc, megan. Just wondering whats the best in terms of quality. i plan to pick some up soon.

 

ive only heard good things about omni lcas

 

Function 7 (wait for it............)

 

omnis are good

 

I like my oem lca's

 

OEM or Function7. Those are the only two' i'd run on my car.

 

OEM. why bother with aftermarket LCA anyway...

oh wait, its bling.

now stand by for 20 posts about why Function 7 are better than any LCA known to man

 

OE 'cause they are cheap and functional.

And I'm a cheap bastard and couldn't justify buying expensive ones when OE works the same.

hahaha

 

There are lots of members here that use them, perhaps they can show you some on thier personal cars, but here are some general photos:

 

what makes the aluminum aftermarket ones better that oem? the only reason i would get them is because they have better bushings than my 10yr old stock ones

 

The aftermarket aluminum LCA is not significantly better than OEM at all, since the weight savings are almost negligible. Most suggest OEM because OEM will give 95% of people exactly what they need out of an LCA; to connect the rear suspension components.
The other 5% might look into aftermarket LCA's due to the use of different bushings designed with performance in mind. Thats where tangible benefits in an aftermarket LCA would be found.

 

how does the oem bushings compare to say one of the generic lca brands like omni?

 

i have spc on my new hatch and srr on the old hatch. both were nice but really served no purpose other than looks i think. skunk2 also has a setup that look nice.

 

I'VE GOT A SET OF OMNI'S NO PROBLEMS YET

 

Damn those looks pretty badass. Anybody know the price for a set of those function 7. Anybody has them on there car??

 

Here are some pics from other members of them installed:

what a SICK setup

 

In my opinion the OEM 94+ Acura integra rear LCAs are hands down the best for the EG & EF chassis. Not only are the bushings much stiffer than the civic counterparts, but they also have a special kink designed into them that helps to protect the subframe. This kink provides a stress riser that causes the LCA to fold up in a direct impact, thus transfering much less enegry directly into the subframe. This translates into savings of costly repairs to your subframe in the event you curb your wheels or get hit by some dumbass...

Added insurance for substantially less money... Hmmm

The Integra LCAs (as well as the 4dr 92-95 Civics), have the kink in them in order to locate the swaybar, it has nothing to do with crash protection.
