Ok well there are quirte a few choices for rear lower control arms mostly on civics and integras. Well i want to get a set since i am needing to get something that will accept a sway bar for a 00 civic cx. I have been looking at the function 7 ones but can anyone tell me what would be the adnavntage of these over any of the other ones such as omni k sport srr or blox. I mean i know they are mostly appearance but the are solid and not stamped and weigh less. The func's are twice as much as all others or close to it . For my car price is not in question when it comes to function and qualtiy. That is what i want...THE BEST. This is my question wjy would i buy func 7 of something else or why would i purchase some ones other brand over func 7. Can anyone make sense of all of this

 

The Func 7 look better, use poly bushings, and offers three endlink hole attachments. Only the new Omnis offer the same for less than Func 7.

 

thats what i wanted to know as welll thank you for that. I knew looking at some like the blox and k sport there isn't much to them. I mean is there any real benefit to the fucn 7 over the omnis? and question in quality or anything because i want the function 7's but they are just so expensive!

 

He just explained the benefits to you. However, if you don't see those as benefits, then most likely it is not necessary for you to get them, and simply go with stock instead.

edit: a stock pair with swaybar mounting points.

 

sorry what i was getting at is there anything other than price difference between the new omnis and the func 7? which would you buy and yes i am getting them for some appearance benefit

 

There seem to be some key differences. It looks like they use different polyurethane compounds.

 

also i am now finding out the omni doesn't make the new control arms for ek so what can i do about that. question also what about front lower control arms from omni, will they fit on the civic ? i have read that they will ? any truth to that

 

You would be best off contacting Omnipower directly for the correct information.

 

welli got in contact with omni and they do not make the new version for ek and the fronts will not work on ek so no choice for that right now.

If you want them now, you gotta go with Func 7.

There are massive differences between the Omni and the Function7 rear LCAs.
Materials - Function7 CNC machines their LCAs from 7075 Billet Airframe grade Aluminum, Omni's material we still aren't quite sure about. Bushing material and design are far superior on the Function7 as well, not to mention carry a lifetime warranty. The design is superior, Ibeam design (Function7) vs a flat bar stock (omni). Even down to the 3 swaybar mounting holes, Function7's are spaced to give up to 10% increase or decrease over the stock mounting position, vs Omni which offers less.

 

thank you for more of a real incite i can make assumptions but that never really gets me anywhere so thank you for the light at the end of my tunnel so to speak and realize what i am looking at!
