Honestly, its just bling for your car, but some ppl like to think it helps.

Not necessarily. With these LCAs, or any other brand, you can opt to switch out the bushings. harder the bushings = less flex in the arm joints = better handling. Not to mention, the reduced weight from the OEM arms.

It's a major thing if you can cut your track times by seconds... track, as in HPDE road courses. There's some benefits for drag cars as well.

From many people who have had these fail within a year, make sure the components have weight/load on them before you tighten them. Sk2 has also claimed they help with wheel clearance on oversized wheels and lowered vehicles. Who know's? They do look tight though.

If compare with other LCA brand? Are there any more interested brands?

Function7 arms are the only ones I would ever consider putting on my car. The design, R&D, and customer service make them superior to all other LCA's on the market.

No I am not affiliated with F7 in any way, nor do I have their arms on my car. I'm just saying that those are the only ones I would ever use, based on what I've seen, other users' experiences, and the type of helpful posts and info the company owner makes here on H-T.

The only reason I'd get them is to skip the potential of that frozen bolt where there shock attaches
