Well as with all eg's my rear lca's had the strut bolts melded onto them thanks to 200k of rust. ANyway I need to repalce my rear lca's now and i was thinking instead of stock maybe getting either of these:

They certainly are cheap, or as cheap as I could get OEM ones for. Aside from the flamboyant 'racing' look of them do you think they provide any advantages over stock?

 

i have them on my car... same length as stock, actuallly same dimensions... they're alright for OEM replacement. but if you're looking to correct camber or anything, these won't do.

 

yeah i just need them to replace my oem lca's, if i needed to correct camber i would just buy a camber kit, isnt that seperate from the rear lca?

 

Some aftermarket LCA's are a little shorter, this brings the camber back into spec on a lowered vehical without the use of a camber kit or washers

 

NOTE: the reason that is an advantous method of correctin camber is because it doesn't push the top of the wheel out any more than it is already, so this can help prevent rubbing problems.

 

Meagen ive heard bad things about the bushings going out in a week. and the other LCA's $44 just for shipping god thats alot.
Id go with the SRR LCA over any of them

which one's are these?

 

I heard bad things about megans also. I heard the bushings wear out like a week after installing them.

I would go with srr

Couldn't you just upgrade the bushings? Say energy suspension bushings?

SPC makes a set which i currently have on my ride...
they are solid

 

yea you can do that. reason i got SRR ones caz mines were siezed to ****. i wanted the bling and the hole for the sway bar was a nice feature.
SPC is the only lca that corrects camber by being shorter then stock
the function 7 ones had optional bushings that can be adjusted to correct camber also not sure if they still have that or not

any advice on where to get them? any price range?

 

is there a weight savings with these lca's

 

srr ones are 2pounds vs the stock 4pound

 

definitely lighter
