I'm in the process of freshening up my suspension and want to replace my rear LCA's for new bushings. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the Megan ones and are the bushings in them any good? I have heard bad things about Blox, so I don't want to get those, and I can't really justify spending $225 on F7's. I know some will say just replace the OEM ones, but I'm not gonna lie, I like the way aftermarket LCA's look and would like a little bling as well as newer bushings. So what would the suspension guru's recommend I do?

 

Honestly, the Megan ones look like junk. The bore for the bushings and the bushings themselves look very weak.

You can get brand new OEM arms with bushings included for about $130 total for both sides. Either that or save up another $75 over the Megan arms and get the F7's.

I'm assuming this is for a 96 hatch, judging by your user name, since you didn't specify a vehicle.

 

Thanks. Yes it's for a 96 hatchback. I am in the process of upgrading pretty much everything, from Koni yellows, all new front UCA's and LCA's (stock), and I already replaced my inner and outer tie rods on both sides. Hopefully this thing will feel like a new car again after all of this stuff and another alignment.

 

I've had mine for about 3 years or so and they have held up perfectly fine. They have also seen a very good amount of hard driving(heavy cornering) and I'm happy with them. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another pair. Megan Racing makes good products now. A few years ago when they were just starting out they might not have, but they've definitely improved over the years.

 

For that price Id rather get PIC lca's

 

they are actually pretty good being from ebay.

 

Why take a chance on parts from a company like Megan that makes products that suck in every way possible? From bad bushings to crappy coilovers, tie bars with TERRIBLE ground clearance, and strut bars that flex like crazy, this is not a company that bothers with R&D.

Just save up a little bit more and get a quality LCA like Omni, Skunk2 or F7.

You will be glad you didn't waste your money on dookie parts when they last longer than a year.

 

ya i just ordered my pic lca's for 125.00 shipped...i would trust those over the megan any day.

 

Doesn't appear that Omni sells rear LCA's, looking at their website.

 

Have they stopped selling them? I have a set on my car, but I got them a few years ago.

 

I'm going to just save my money and get the F7's in a month or two. I am pretty much rebuilding my entire suspension and really don't want to cheap out on anything at this point. Thanks guys.

 

they have hardrace stock front lca's for like 130 shipped in the vendor forum. Just stock lca with hardrace bushings. That's what I think I am going to get. I am in the same stage as you, replacing all the suspension and hoping for a nice new feel.

 

I already bought OEM front upper and lower control arms. My front end is so sloppy, the car is scary to drive at times! But, the suspension does have 217k miles on it. LOL!
