Im about to purchase some LCAs for EK9 civic... Does anyone knows what kind of bushings Function7 use in their LCAs? Its polyurethane? Also, are they compatible with the oem honda civic si/type r sway bar endlinks?

F7's use a special polyurethane bushing made specifically for their arms by Energy Suspension. The arms have a lifetime warranty, which includes the bushings. They are also designed to be easily replaced in just a few minutes after removing the arm, for instance if you needed to change them at the track.

I'm pretty sure all F7 arms are compatible with OE swaybar end links.

Thanks for the response.... Its good to know.... Do you know often you would have to lubricate the bushings to prevent them from making that annoying noise polyurethane bushings are known for???

I just actually put in my function 7s. Rear swaybar endlinks was fine in terms of where they lined up, however i had to buy some longer high tensile bolts with nyloc nuts.

You do not need to lubricate them. The polyurethane compound contains a significant amount of graphite in them that self-lubes the bushings. If they do squeak (esp in cold conditions) you can apply some white lithium grease to the bushings.
