so my current rear end right now is an obx rear lower tie bar with omni power rear lower control arms...no rear strut bar and stock ls/rs/gs sway bar...
i replaced the lower control arms when my lca bolt broke stuck in the stock one
i added the "crappy" rear lower tie bar because i got it for $20

so did i reduce a lot of weight and/or increase my handling? what recommendations do you have and are these brand names crappy??
let me know your input...thanks in advance

 

It sounds like you just added bling. LCAs don't add performance, neither does reducing unsprung weight, until you are looking for that last 0.01s per lap, and can drive consistently enough to notice a 0.01s gain.

Thankfully, you didn't pay much for it.

Hopefully the bushings in those LCAs hold up. I've heard mixed reviews of their longevity.

 

yea i heard bad stuff about the blox bushings busting out easy but nothing bad about omnipower...
i compared the bushings from the ones on stock and the omnipower look way stiffer and more rubber in a more "molded" shape to the control arm itself

I also heard about the blox bushings, but i havent had a problem out of mine.. i've had them for almost 8 months..

get an itr sway bar.

 

will the end links from an ls sway bar work on the itr sway bar? straight bolt up without difficulty?

 

i reused mine, but had to get new bushing collars
