Default LCA: Skunk2 Vs. Function7

I really want to know which of this brands make a better LCA for a 96 civic hatch? I wanted the skunk2 b/c they make them on gold which is the color Im looking for, but I don't mind if I have to paint the F7s in gold if they are that much better than skunk2. LMK whats your opinion. thanks

Yes, that.

Also, read my first post on this page:

I don't have aftermarket LCAs, but if I did, they would be F7s.

I have a set of Blox LCAs and after a year and a half the bushings are torn, when i get the money to purchase a set of new ones F7s will be my choice. Ive heard and seen noting but good things continually. Plus they match my polished beaks bar

If you want LCA upgrades, just replace the bushings or have a shop replace them with good urethane bushings. otherwise buy some new/used function 7's.

either way they work. only downside is they've gotten super expensive in the last 2 years. i got mine from jhp for around a 100$ and its up to 240 now.

Interesting, but you may have remembered wrongly. The street price was around $200 when we released it late 2002 and we had small increases in price over the years as aluminum keeps getting more expensive.

$100 would have put JHP out of business because they would have been losing money on the arms!

nope. maybe it was a mistake on JHPs part but im almost 100% i didn't pay more then 150 for em. not complaining it happens as material cost rise. just stating.
haha but it most definately would. im still happy even if i am remembering wrong.

damn, at 100 bucks I would have definitely bought a set.

They're worth what F7 charges for them, I just can't afford them when I don't *really* need them.

found my receipt. i paid 210 for em. thats 08 so 6 years after your original release price only went up by ten. idk why i only thought 150.
