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?

 

probably omni i have a set on my civic coupe and i never had a problem i just recently purchased a set od function 7's but only because no 1 around here has them . the omni's are good for the price never had a prob and look awesome under car!

 

D2's have some nice ones..

im looking into getting the F2 (Function /Form) to match my suspension...was reading on them on their site..

well, personally, i love the function7 arms. they just kick ***.

 

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.

i just stick to oem ls,gsr

 

my function7's should be here 2 marrow..im rockin omni's right kno i sell for cheap if u want

 

ILL TAKE EM WHERE YOU AT?

 

SRR s all the way!!!

 

That is a fine looking hatch piece you've got there.

 

i've always rocked omni's on my past cars...never had a problem

 

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.

 

is there any advantage to aftermarket rear lca's over stock? like for reals seems like all aesthetic...

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...

 

Hey JJspectuning, how much of a pain was it to install the suspension setup u were talking about on ur car? did u do it yourself or .. ?

Approx. install time?
