im assuming that you are talking about civic LAC's seeing your avatar photo....im pretty sure that 99 civic EX LAC's do NOT have holes for a sway bar in them only the si LAC's have them.

i don't understand why 1/2 these guys are recommending expensive unnecessary LCA's. a pair of oem LCA's would do fine. look online for del sols equipped with a rear sway bar. i believe the del sol has slightly longer LCA's, if not any 94-01 integra or 92-95 civic w/rear sway bar would work.

Don`t even start with LCA`s with hard rubber bushings. I did alignments for awhile and I noticed these kind of LCA`s like Blox and first gen-omnis have bushings that tend to dry rot. How do I know? I aligned my own car with these Blox with the bushings almost popping out.

Because i know lots of people who have and had them at one point, and not one complained of the bushings going bad. I dont understand where people are so quick to say they have bad bushings. Id really like to see pics.

Well, I've had first hand experience with the BLOX LCA's, and I have nothing positive to say about them. The bushings rotted out on me in less than 5 months...
But they sure did look MaDD TyTe...

I like blox, but I don't like their LCA's. Basically a waste of $ IMO.

OEM FTW!

It's not the fact that it's not Japanese that makes it a SHITTY product. It's the fact that they use the same SHITTY bushings as BLOX. That makes them SHITTY.
