Anyone knows if the combo: Skunk2 LCA and Blox Adj endlinks fit togheter? it sems like the holes on the LCA are to small atleast at the pictures to fit the bolt from the endlinks? On the Blox LCA it seems to be a bigger hole to fit the endlinks. anyone who uses this combo? Skunk2 LCA with Blox Adj Endlinks.


Thanks

Fredrik

 

I am not sure why it wouldn't work. From my understanding, the endlinks are pretty universial and should fit in any aftermarket Lower Control Arm...

 

I actually just bought this combo or well have the skunk2 LCAs installed. It seems like the bolts are too thick to fit into the skunk2 LCAs. Am I correct in saying this? I assume others have had to make a run to Home Depot to get hardware that fits correct?

 

Smaller bolts wont solve the problem. Sure, smaller bolt will make it work, BUT, smaller bolt will cause the endlinks to bounce around around on the bolts.


The endlinks suck to begin with.

 

Yes I know you hate Blox endlinks, I can't find any post with endlinks where you don't mention how much they suck. Can't we all get a long

Do you know of any endlinks that fit the Skunk2 LCA's? Even if you hate them please mention them.

 

Funny. You think Skunk2 would make them.

 

I have never heard of endlink that didn't fit.

You can use OEM, you should be able to use blox.

I hope I don't have ask this, but are you putting the bolt in the right hole?

 

Yes OEM will fit that hole, which I just researched and found out it is 14mm. I am not sure if Blox's bolts are 14mm. From just looking and not physically comparing the blox bolts look far larger, maybe 4mm larger?

Yes the hole I am talking about is at the top and there are 3 holes depending on how you want to set it up.

EDIT: The blox bolts are 10 x 1.5 and are 2.75" long.

 

Jeez, maybe they changed the bolts sence I bought mine.


The bolts I have fit perfectly in the stock lca's.

Go to homedepot, and take the endlink with you, find what works best. I don't know what else to say.

 

Nah it is cool, i figured I would search and stumbled on this old thread. Just trying to help everyone ya know. I was planing on going to home depot tonight and looking at what they have. My only concern is thread hole pattern. All Skunk2 gave me was the size :-(. I might have to buy a few 14mm bolts and see what fits. I will post back what I find out.

 

Just wanted to report back that anyone searching, the blox bolts will fit with the Skunk2 LCAs with no modification or new bolts.

 

That seems to be a bit biased no? How about some supporting evidence?

 

While I can not say that is smart of skunk2 to do, everyone posting and bashing them is just childish. What is also very apparent is how cheap everyone wants there parts, and then complain when a motor blows up. You can not have your cake and eat it to. In terms of skunk2, I have no issues with them. I have had there LCAs for months now and I have yet to see anyone online have one break in half. I know Shroden has given them praise for there parts as well. Every so often this occurs, its nothing new. Hopefully new companies like Buddyclub do not see this happen to them.

BTW you bashing them without your own evidence puts you in the same hole as skunk2. Unless you have your own facts don't jump on the band wagon, it only makes you look like a fool.

 

I take it that my statement stands true. A true follower.

 

i agree with you on this..

 

Thank you.

I want to also add that I called Skunk2 and they were helpful in telling me the bolt size needed for their product, although they said they did not make any endlinks they were sure most of not all fit. Skunk2 support for me seemed very good. No issues.

 

Wait, so they do fit??




He's right, and I am speaking from experience with Skunk2 suspension products.

Skunk2 cams/valve train isn't bad, just the suspension parts.

 

What have you had go wrong with suspension products?

I have had camber kit front and rear for years now on my car and never had an issue. I have have there coils and they ride like ****.

And again I have skunk2 valve train and cams and never had a prob witch you said there not bad.

 

Yes the bolts fit with out any modification. By that I mean I jacked the car up, took the bolt Blox sent and screwed it in with out an issue.

Can you explain how they suck? Whats wrong with there product that you faced, not anyone else, but you.

 

I think he might be referring to the camber kit and how the bolts do not stay intact at the top. This is common among most of those that use that technology of adjustment though. I am never a fan of camber kits as I do not feel they are worth the cost, but this is my opinion. I am interested to hear what he has to say. Or read since we are online :-)

 

I have seen ppl with that prob. But me i've never had that prob. but lets see what he has to say

 

Just out of curiosity how did you get them from moving? Is your car a DD? Weekend warrior?

 

Gone wrong on my car, noithing. Although then a rock hard, shitty ride. I have had several different types of shocks in this car, and noithing helped. The springs suck. I have 350lb springs, which aren't even that stiff. I have no issues with a stiff car, actually I like. It takes a lot for me to complain about a poor rideing car.

My buddy bought the Pro-s kit, and it road like complete and utter **** fresh out of the box. He didn't have them long enough to have the car aligned and was talking about selling them.

Another guy I know had the pro-c's. Again, rode like **** brand new. 1 shock was leaking after 3 months, skunk2 wouldn't help. Siteing "improper installtion" was the cause of the shock leaking. They wanted $295 for a new one.
Adjustment *****, did noithing. You couldn't tell a difference until they were almost at full stiff. At that point, it was ****ing backbreaking.

You said it your self, Skunk2 coilovers ride like ****.

The bushings, are very poor. better then blox though. They did release a knew bushing, however, I have yet to see someone post a review on them. I will give Skunk2 a for a sending the bushings to owners for free.


Skunk2 cams and valve train is great for the money, I just think they need to leave the suspension game alone.
You have got to be kiding me, I have not the only one saying skunk2 sucks. Have you not seen the people complaining about the poor quality bushings?

No, I am not. I've never had a Skunk2 camber kit on my car, and never will,

Now, I have held skunk2 camber kits with the ball joints just about to fall off. Beucase the bolts snapped.

I would post pictures, but my computer crashed and I lost everything.

 

Once you said that I kinda figured it would be a Coils and stuff.

I had the pro-s kit and they were the worst i mean the worst ride I have ever had, Just like you said they wasnt on my car for 500miles and i sold them.

Ive never seen ppl with the blots snapped in the camber kit (yet) I would love to see a pic. But its cool since ur pc took a ****.

What are everyone using now days?

Like I said mine has been on ther 3+ years with no prob at all. But I dont drive my car everyday

 

You complain about a spring and shock issue...What shocks did you use? What rims and tires? Also 350 and how many inches lower?

Leave the suspension game? What is wrong with there LCAs?

I am not here to not pick there battles but I think people come online once a product fails and a lot do not do there homework prior. Suspension is very complex and for most they throw a spring on and some shocks and feel that it should ride like it does stock. In most cases stock is the best that car will ever ride. Once you change the geometry of a vehicles height along with rims and tires everything goes out the window. Sure the main concept is that the lower you go the higher the spring rate needs to be, etc. But this is on them for making the part, its up the owner to understand what they are really doing. I remember prior to preloaded coilovers we would mess around with ground controls and try to figure this concept up prior till companies releasing that idea now. I think motor work is by far easier to work on where suspension is by far more complex as so many factors come into play. How many people do you think corner balance their vehicle out of everyone that installs coilovers? Maybe 5%? Its not hard to see why a shock might prematurely go when it is handling more weight then it should.
