Default Whats a good LCA?

What is everyone running right now? I wanna buy them soon cause I will be installing the shocks and springs together so while im doing that i can do the LCA. I already searched and read some thread. I read the Funiction 7, Skunk2's and Omnis are really good. What would you guys reccomend?

I really like the BLOX Racing ones. They're real light and strong.
Best part I found them for only $100 shipped. PM if you would like the link.

I have heard good things about Function 7's. I heard they ride reall nice. It's up to you man. F7's are about $150 more then the Blox, but like they say, you get what you pay for. Its your call man.

As for THROWDOWN, stay true my dude. What you think the X's in my name mean man.

Blox, skunk2, omni

Function7 for weight saving, if less money in your wallet makes you feel lighter.

The F7's with the poly bushings are often overkill for the street and I've often heard people complain about the ride.

Is it true that Skunk2 owns Blox? Because I am pretty sure they do, just a little cheaper.

The story i've heard is blox was a groupd of designers/founders that split from skunk2 and still had joint ownership for the designs on skunk2 products. To get back at skunk2 blox makes the same/similar products for a fraction of what skunk2 does.

You're thinking of OmniPower. I'm pretty sure one of the guys from Omni works for IL4 Racing.

Really? I thought the new blox intake manifolds were identical to the skunk2 manifolds.

Might be both, but a lot of Omni's products are IDENTICAL to SK2's as well, and there's some companies that have some animosity towards SK2 that sell Omni.

SRR are pure JDM bling .... which is why I want a pair to have but never install .... but most of their suspension parts are really sub-par. I'd pick F7 over SRR, but not until I'm redoing my suspension (again).

SO which one of those (Skunk2, SRR, OMNI, F7 etc)is the best quality ride and who has them on their cars?

If Blox was there I'd pick them but since there not I'd go with F7's.

Keep in mind that I went for a little more stealthy look. Black LCA's. It was either between F7's (because there bushings are removable and I would just powerdercoat it) or the Blox black ones. For some reason I like black LCA's better.

ride quality will probably all be similar with the regular bushings, It's the poly bushings in the F7's that the rude will be more sensitive.

I've got Gen1 Omni's. They feel no different than my stock ones. Any you're going to buy (other than F7) will not have any affect on your ride what-so-ever ... unless your stock ones are shot.

F7's are great for functional use, they have urethane bushings and three different sway mount locations. If you're looking for a different style that still has urethane busings, PIC Performance has an Omni-Style LCA with urethane bushings. Their stuff is really spendy for what is is, though.

Also, good luck finding SRR LCA's for anything but a 5th Gen / Integra (excl. ITR) .... they're discontinued.

Skunk2 has ones with poly bushings! So all of those omni and skunk2 have mounting point for sway bar?

Every aftermarket LCA does.
