Do you have a rear swaybar that you need to have different amounts of preload on?

no - right now i have knock off ebay lca and i'm getting skunk2 full coil-overs.

i'm wondering if it's worth it to just the LCA and do it over again and do it right.

i plan on getting a ctr sway bar with asr brace and add a skunk2 tie bar

what do you think?

You can't use an ASR brace with a Skunk2 tie bar.

LCA's are all about bling. If what you have is working and the bushings aren't going bad, don't replace them unless you just want something that looks different.

Here's my setup, Omni LCA's that I paid $100 for like 3 years ago .... still going strong.

yes i think it's all about bling too -- i just like the look of the skunk2 better.

not only that but i can sell my current ones... and make up some money.

Ride is fantastic. Very rear-centered but still FWD-neutral feel.

And yes, that is a Tanabe SMH.
