Default cheap lca's worth it who has used them?

so its pretty simple you get what you pay for right ?
so with that said is it worth to cheap out with these knock off lca's? or should i man up and spend the 200 + for the buddy club or sk2 ? i mean is there that much of a deffrence ?
i have the cash but I rather spend it on tuning ect...

has any 1 tried the ebay lca's are the bushings soft ? compaired to oem or expensive ?

thanks H-T

the problem is the bushings more than anything.

You might be able to get away with buying knock offs and replacing the bushings, but at that rate you might as well just get the real deal.

Function 7. Don't bother with anything else aftermarket at this point.

this is a question I've wondered myself. seems to me that you probably just get them for show though.

or if you need LCAs with sway bar mounting holes. not all OEM LCAs have the holes for them.

Function7 or OEM. Nothing else is worth it. Everything else either has crap bushings, incorrect geometry, or both.

function7's here cant beat the quality and the bushings are made to act like a bearing and are self lubricating.

this is basically it

you can buy energy bushings for your oem arms and get all of the performance of function 7 at 1/8th the cost
