Default LCA's EG/DC Chassis

I've been debating lately on replacing my stockers for some aftermarket ones. After talking with a friend, he recommended I stay away from Blox. I live in the midwest with different types of climates every year. On his application, he had his Blox LCA's on for about 7 months, then the bushings failed. Just curious what everyone recommends. Not really a budget, but I do daily drive my car.

I have Function 7 LCA and i love them. A piece of advice though. If you get them make sure you get 2 new bolts and nuts for the end links. I believe mine are M10x55mm.

These LCA should not run you more than $235, i got mine from Weaksos

The bushings have a lifetime warranty and are custom made by energy suspension for Function 7

I suggest Function 7 as well. The last time I had to take some off a daily-driven Honda the collars were seized to the bolts. Function 7 replaced them with brand new bushings and collars free of charge. They really do stand behind their lifetime warranty - even when it has nothing to do with product failure.

Also if you plan on doing the install your self i highly recommend getting all 6 of the LCA bolts replaced with new Honda ones.

why? its not like a lca is really going to change anything for performance.

F7 really is the only company that actually put any significant thought into understanding how to improve on a LCA than just put out some anodized colorful bling part. but they will be the first to say that its unnecessary for most ppl looking to buy a LCA.

just stick to stock. you can buy new control arms from the dealer with fresh new bushings that will outlast anything else out there. just make sure you install them correctly.

He doesn't need to justify why he wants to buy an aftermarket lca. He just wants to. You might as well ask everyone why they buy oil caps and ****.

Your completely right. I wanna change them to be a part of the cool crowd, thats all.

Seriously though, I appreciate all the LEGIT responses in here. F7 is what I was wanting, just really wanted another opinion on it.
