Default Are SRR LCAs worth the money(and other Qs)?

I just ordered my itr swaybar kit for my eg and am shopping around for some LCAs from a teg. finding them for around 50 shipped but i want some better bushings(rubber is most likely kind of worn out anyway), new poly es bushings come out to about 33 from summit and then i have to get the old ones pressed out and that costs too(seen 20 up to 100, and some havent been able to get it done).

basically ive read through all the old posts i could find of people saying they are so expensive and a waste(just for blingicity/etc). i figure id come out around 130(roughly) to get stock LCAs to something similar which is only about 70 shy of getting the SRRs. waste or no?

and are the bushings in the SRRs comparable to the ES ones?

SRR makes some quality shiat..there a really nice piece to have..youll notice little to no difference with them on but they look bling! and they are lighter than stock ones..o yea and they are like twice as thick as stock ones to..hope that helped..

brand new ITR lower control arms from the dealership is $100 for the pair....why spend more? they do the same exact **** than the $300 SRR ones...you want 'bling', get 'em...if you want function, get the the LCA's from the dealership...

Or GSR arms from the junkyard.
Clean them up, install Energy bushings and you are under $75.

SRR= will not bend, much thicker than stock, sure there bling, lighter, and MOST IMPORTANT.... Offer a replacable bushing, with only the use of a allen head wrench! And the bushings in there are great, you can run something liek 800lb springs on them on the street.

There worth the extra money IMO. And if you dont want bling, then paint them for the sleeperish look.

then i need itr shocks(do i need itr springs too?). the SRRs are only 199 shipped. under 75 for some LCAs with new ES bushings is pretty farfetched unless i get free stuff or the work done for free. any other thoughts?

I like these http://store.hybridgarage.com/...0008D Awesome looking and incredibly light. However, it depends on what you want to spend.

one of the key benefits to the SRR LCA is not just 'bling' or 'JDM-ness'......when working with suspension components reducing UNSPRUNG mass allows the spring and strut to be more effecient in response and feedback. The SRR LCA's are also MUCH stronger then stock. I recently helped host a GB for some. They will be in soon. I will try and get some pics posted when they arrive.

im considering getting the itr ones and just getting a set of AGX shocks for an itr at the same time. the itr shocks will work fine on my eg front end and also along with my EG eibach springs correct? the only thing you need when getting itr shocks is the itr rear lca right?

Yup.

I like my SRRs just 'cause they're highly visible

I agree...ITR LCAs are cheap and flyweight.
