Default FCS NEW TRAILING ARMS on AMP CIVIC

I present to you the new FCS trailing arms. Easy extention without getting a new alignment and very light weight for those that are looking to put weight in the right location. Installation is very easy so dont get intimidated.

Looks nice. How do these compare to the KStuned trailing arms?

Same thing I was wondering, they look somewhat the same in size/construction. The lower arm has a slight bend in it with the FCS kit, whereas the KS kit has a straight trailing arm. The FCS has a solid pipe camber arm and KS have that split metal design so that is a little diff(FCS design looks a little more sturdy). The other difference is the brake disc and caliper used which is why I'm guessing these can even be lighter than the KS kit without a solid disc and possibly lighter/smaller calipers. I'm just going off of first impressions visually off the pics, I have seen and held real KS kit in person but haven't seen an fcs kit yet, looks great tho.

Just remember no pricing is allowed and the topic must stay relevant in discussing the differences from either kits.

Do people really believe they can change the rear trailing arms and upper arm without getting an alignment done? I'm going to pay $1500-1800 to lengthen the wheelbase but not spend 80 bucks for an alignment.....lol.

From what I understand you will need to align it initially, but you can alter the wheel base without having to re-align each time. Handy for trackside changes.

I haven't read anywhere that it says you don't have to get an alignment at all. Here is the exact wording from the FCS website:

"you will never need a alignment after the kit is initial set up the first time so you can adjust track side for optimum performance."
