No idea who makes good stuff anymore with all these different brands.

 

Function7.

 

Keep it OE

 

Search

 

All good suggestions.

 

Trying to shave weight anywhere possible....also getting the front lca's from omni man to drop weight there....yes im getting that picky

 

Then look at function7. Dont sacrifice quailty for weight.
Not to say your fat or anything, but often times the driver droping a couple pounds is easier.

 

function 7 for sure

 

Function7, nothing else compares to the quality.

 

The cash doesn't weigh(lol) up to the weight loss.

How much is the weight reduction, 10, 20%, on that little lca ... duh.

And it's not only the money for the (F7) lca, you then also must have aftermarket enlinks.

F7 is granted a fine product, but that doesn' make it a useful one.

Only if you race or track or things seriously then such arms and the cost can be useful due the spherical bearings and such, but not for the weightloss.

OP shoud spend that money otherwise and get more out of it as such.


- kristo, who just finished this year's philosophy exams succesfully

 

Kristo's right.

We designed our arms specifically for track/race use and the engineering design reflects that. Our arms are currently the lightest on the market and yet they are the strongest (yes, we do destructive testing on our products on a regular basis).

I recommend reading page two of this thread:

car runs in scca solo 2 classes out here locally. money is of no concern just shaving every last pound off the car i can.

 

You do not need aftermaket endlinks, you just need longer end link bolts (55mm i think it was) and 4 washers and 2 nuts.

 

This is true of the EG/EF/DC Civic/Integra - a longer bolt and some nuts are all that is needed. However I believe the OP was asking about the EK version.

The standard EK Civic rear swaybar endlinks are ball-type with studs to mount onto the factory arms/sway bar. The studs are too short for our arms . We designed our arms thicker around the sway bar mount holes to make the mounting points stronger in order to handle oversized (stiffer) race-ready sway bars.

Because we have, over the years, spent a lot of blood/sweat/tears on R&D, engineering design, materials, manufacturing processes, etc, we believe our products are superior to our competitors, and we back up our products with a lifetime warranty.

You can also use any M10 sized heim joint linkages to attach the rear sway bar to our arms. ASR, Comptech, or Blox spherical sway bar linkages bolt onto our arms with no problems. We sell our sway bar endlink kit as a matter of convenience for our customers.

the car is an EM1 not an ek will the factory sway bar bolt up to your lca's?

 

EM/EK - they're the same. The factory sway bar will work but you'll need the linkages since the factory linkages are not long enough to fit through the arm.

My bad, forgot he had an EM1

 

true that!
