what's everyones feelings on rear lca's for em2/es1? worth the dough? brand recommendations? brands to avoid?

 

i got omni power lca didn't feel anny diferends or so
perfect fit and nice quality

 

my feeling they aren't worth it.

maybe gives you more ability to adjust camber and pull your tire in for wider tires. a little lighter.

edit: confused with another part.

They don't do any of that.

 

so it justs for looks?

 

i was gonna say the same thing, i mean on the product description tahts what it does but i have the SPC Ones and feel/see any difference. Thank god it was a gift...

 

for our cars, yes, its worthless and is only for the bling factor.

however, on other cars, for example '92-'00 civics that did not come with a rear swaybar, it would be beneficial. some models didnt come with swaybars, so the LCA didnt have holes for the endlinks to bolt onto. getting an aftermarket LCA would solve this problem.

 

dang an i was guna order it 2morow haha. phew!

 

it was a cosmetic thing for me.. i have the Progress sway and tie bar.. and wanted to complete my apeearance.. it looked to plain!

 

funtion7 lca's ftw

heres mine

you know, you probably could and it would save you $$.

aside from that, have those of you who have installed aftermarket lca's noticed a change in camber?

 

Sanding and powdercoating them may cost more than getting a new set. I got a set of D2 LCA's from a shop called National Speed in Wilmington NC, and payed $132 for them new in the box.

I have the EP3 Skunk 2 rear LCA's in and nah I haven't noticed any difference between them and the stock ones. Well with the obvious exception that they look freaking sweet and will complement my Progress Rear Sway when it gets in.

thanks for the recommendation, if only i could order off their site...

 

Call them on Monday, Ask for Jordan, and tell him EM2Brande(Jon) sent you, he can qoute you the price

 

you don't feel a difference, but they make installing a new suspension so much more easier if you have seized bolts. Thats why I bought mine

 

here are 2 pics of what they look like

 

heres my comparsion from function7 and stock

function7 &gt; stock

 

all they realy do is stiffen up the rear end a lil (the stock units are thin and week) they wont deflect/distort under hard conering as the thinner weaker stocks will. choice on what brand u get, now thats different its all personal preference and monitary decision making there. unless u are auto crossing or sumthing extreme like that i wouldnt waste the money.

those are blingin'

 

i feel stiffness in the rear but they look GREAT i mean i get tons of compliments on them lol i got the OMNI LCA's and now i need a rear camber kit because it's really noticable to me now the tiltin inward &gt;.&lt; it's like this /_/-----\_\ lol &gt;.&lt; not that bad

 

if thats true, thats massive negative camber. if your fronts are cambered correctly, youd just plow into corners like a bloated boat
