Default F&F or F7 LCA's With ITR Endlinks

I'm having a bit of a dilemma here. I want to either get function and form LCA's or function 7 ones.

I just bought a JDM ITR 23mm sway bar with OEM endlinks. I've heard that the ITR OEM endlinks won't work with the function 7's.

And I also want to know if it's true that the f7's are the best to get. Money is very very tight right now, so I would just like to know.

Thanks!

Will F7's lower control arms fit with the OEM ITR endlinks?

No, they will not.


If money is very very tight, don't buy either.

Stock is best if you're broke.

Yet OEM EJ1's don't have rear swaybars.

Yet Integra control arms will bolt right in, and some other 92-95's had rear bars.


Aftermarket isn't your only option.

True story, but those are hard to come across. I might just have to buy the endlinks later, but I can still purchase the LCA's now, but get the endlinks later when I have money.

Even on ebay/craigslist, junk yard?

You will most likely need adjustable endlinks, which only leaves you with a few options.
F7/ASR. They will run you about $80

What you should get, is this money that I'm spending it on is my tax return money. Currently I go to college, and it's not a place to spend money at. I have no job down here because I'm a full time student majoring in mechanical engineering. I'm thinking that's pretty tough, I'm constantly doing things, and hardly have anytime to have free time.

My family is also not extremely wealthy here unlike most kids where mommy and daddy buy all of their parts, or where people spend 100% of their minimum wage income on racing parts on their hard-parked civic.

All I want is an honest opinion why Function & Form's are so shitty, and Function 7's are the best, not some ******** reply like you. So if you have nothing to say, please don't take the time to type your passage out, it's not worth my time.

WTF is up with the juvenile name calling? If money was not a factor then why mention it? If you don't want it commented on then don't include extraneous information in your posts!

Why is F&F **** and F7 not? 4 words (that if you bothered to do a simple friggin' search you would've found out) Quality coupled with Research and Development. One company has it. The other does not. Period.

BTW. I can post anywhere I please. If you don't like ********* responding to your posts then don't start them.

The juvenile name calling is not intended to you. I've done research, there were answers bobbing up and around the interwebz.

I've had numerous people who track on a daily schedule told me that F&F LCA's would be perfectly fine. Hell, there's even a reputable kid around my age who tracked as well and he had blox LCA's, and he said his never took a **** on him.

I want a FORSURE decision, I'm very tedious about buying the right part. Yeah, if money wasn't a problem, then this all wouldn't happen. I know everybody says if you don't have the money don't get them.

No need to hate

Money clearly isn't tight. If it were you wouldn't be modifying you car, nor considering the most expensive LCA out there. It's illogical.

If you're that desperate, buy some used GSR lcas for the $~50 that I sold mine for last year. That will last you longer than anything else and serve the same function.

You don't work, parents don't give you money, so you're probably up to your eyeballs in debt (which is fine if you're getting a useful education) and you're spending money on a honda?

I don't get it. But its your money. I'm in college full-time too, I also work two jobs, produce my own internet radio show, invest in stocks and my ROTH-IRA (yes, making $9/hour) pay rent, insurance, phone, etc.

It's not fun, but I don't have any debt and live pretty lavishly for a college student.

I can't imagine modding my car while being unemployed. Though I've never been without a job for more than a week since I was 14.

I actually sold my GSR and EM1 LCA's for $1 a pair. I had them up for $20 for months and nobody would buy them. I said either $1 takes them if you drive to me or they are going to the scrap yard for $0.15 total lol.
