Default Blox LCA's for a 99 Cx Hatch

Thinking about getting some Blox LCA's for my civic and i was hoping to get some feedback from people who have them or have owned them. I looked them up and saw a couple mixed reviews. Any imput would be appreciated.

Also when i lowered it my stock LCA's were banging against my exhaust (also stock) and making a clanking noise every time i hit a dip in the road. I lazily solved this problem by taping a piece of a rag to the spot where the lca would hit...has anyone had this problem? how did you solve it? cause i really dont wanna tape it up again when i put new ones on there.

I have had these a long time ago. They bushings will go out on you. This will not remedy your problem. Sounds like you need new shocks.

I have heard those bushings are FAILtastic. If you're gonna buy new LCAs spend the $$$ on Function7 or press new bushings into the Blox before you put them on.

Your problem is not the LCA's. Get new shocks. What is your setup now?

If you get new LCA's and not buy new shocks you risk damaging your new LCA's. As for FF type 1's that seems to be your problem right there. Did you buy that set up new? and was it making that noise as soon as you installed your suspension? The other thing is you might be too low.

Ha usually most take my responses as ******** answers or questions. If your exhaust is a little saggy then you already know your fix. You most likely need new exhaust donuts or get your piping re-done.
