Default Skunk 2 lower control arms.

Hey everyone I just had a quick question I planed on getting a sway bar and I have a 04 vp which means I don't have a sway-bar or a place for the end-links to mount up. I was looking around and noticed that the skunk 2 lower control arms adjustable points for the sway bar. So I was wondering if I could get some feed back on this if any one is running a set up instead of getting an adapter kit. They also clam that the control arms are lighter. What do you guys think?

Cool so your running a sway bar then to? I noticed when I went over bumps that my car squeezes from the back so I was planing on replacing some of the bushings. O also did your sway bar mount up ok to your omni power lca's with out an adapter kit? Someone gave me the idea to just get the lca's from an 04 lx but I'm not sure If I should go oem or after market i guess the only thing you get out it is looks and wait savings.

I have Skunk2 lca s and they are fine never had a problem, I took a tour through skunk2's shop and they really well organized, And the machines they have are amazing.
after running a few of skunks products i will definitely purchase more. as for your sway bar i have no idea about those adapters

the lower control arms you would buy and the brands should be considered as far as what you plan to do with the car. if your going really low or doing like auto X i would get something with a poly bushing, omni has this and a few others. if you just want them for looks i would still recommend the poly bushings just for longevity but rubber will suffice

well then you'll want a set of arms with either a spherical bearing or the poly setup. omnis arent impossible to find but difficult if you dont know where to look. function7 arms have poly bushings i believe.
