Default New Bushings on Blox LCA's

So after reading to many horror storys about the blox bushings going to **** after about a year i wanna replace mine before i get them on the car so i dont have to worry about it. Only ones iv'e found so far are the prothane bushings that are like 90. Is there any other ones out there or are the prothanes the only ones?

I'm not sure if the Prothane bushings will fit the Blox LCAs. At any rate, I had Blox's LCAs on my last car and never had a problem. If you clock the suspension correctly, then tighten them to spec, you shouldn't have a problem. When the suspension's torqued down and there's no loan on the suspension, that means when the car's on the ground there's going to be a constant twisting on the rubber, which will cause it to crack. If you did the same thing on a stock LCA, it would crack fast too.

Since the bushings are $90, you may as well spring for the extra $15 to save yourself the hassle of installing new bushings (if they even fit).

hmmm got ya i hadn't really heard of anything about people replacing them other than sending them back to Blox and having them do it. Hopefully i wont have an issue, liek you said i guess for the price they are despensable
