Thought I'd give you guys a heads up of a Exclusive color- POLISHED rear LCA for the 88-95 Civic/ 90-01 Integra Chassis. Everyone else has blue, Silver, Black, gold but who has POLISHED?!!?

These Blox rear lower control arms are made of forged aluminum. The LCA's are strong and remove about 2.5 pounds.

They also have sway bar provisions and hard rubber bushings. They are the same dimensions as stock and bolt right in with no modifications.

 

Still same crappy bushings for these = fail.

 

you guys need to lower the car all the way down and then tighten the bolts. otherwise you're pre-loading all the bushings and putting a twisting force on them once the car lowers down. inevitably it will twist the bushing out and ruin them as with any suspension part that isn't installed correctly.

 

Some of us "guys" actually own a torque wrench and know how to tighten our suspension correctly. Some of these materials they use in the TDM/CDM/MIT products just suck.

 

oh geez.

if you dont like it dont buy it. my goodness

 

its not weather you torque it down or not that matters.
the suspension has to be loose. and on the ground. THEN tightened. that way the bushings arent preloaded

 

Like I said some of us know how to install our suspension correctly. Anyways it's pretty well documented how well those bushings are on this and many other forums.

 

*sigh* and the sway bar hole is still in the WRONG place for 92-95 Civic and 94-01 Integras. Do you guys really sell the same part for all 88-00 Civic and 90-01 Integras?? What about the fact that 96-00 Civic LCA's are LONGER than previous year Civics and Integras?

And um... Function7 has had polished arms since the beginning. In fact that's the only finish they come in.

 

no where does it say it fits 96-00

 

Taken right from the link in your signature:

I'm pretty sure "88-00 Civic" includes the 6th generation 96-00 Civic model years.

 

typo Fixing now

 

good... but the sway bar hole is still in the wrong place

 

I hope that's an artifact from the camera, because otherwise all those fine lines in the metal don't count as "polished", simply "bare metal" or "machined" (as many wheels are described).

Polished AL has a mirrored surface.

One can also request a matte-black rubberized teflon coating to be applied to Function7 LCAs. Something about the rallye guys asking for it because it cleans off easier.

Woot, I got to correct PatrickGSR94 on something. That never happens!

 

sorry man he was correct because they come polished and the other coating is optional.

 

the inner squares are machine finished but the outer edges etcc are polished

the upclose was just to show the blox laser etch

 

Sorry that this whole thread has been nothing but a hater-fest pretty much, but people need to be aware of potential issues. I mean these don't even come close to a product like F7's LCA's. And I'm not a huge fan of Skunk2, but at least their arms have the sway bar end link holes in the correct location.



However I have seen some of their bushings take a dump after not too much use. At least these Blox ones have provisions for using hard rubber bushings

 

there will be spherical bearing replacements for future ones coming
