There has been noting wrong with the LCAs, it is mainly with the coil overs, ek camber kit and thier master cylinder. Don't be so eager to jump on the bandwagon, not everything has had an issue.

Well these arms are designed for dra racing use as they are supposed to link to their traction bar setup.

If you truly have a hard on for tubular LCAs then just take them somewhere and have a steel plate welded in for the attachement points for a swaybar.

i believe someone was drag racing when a shock pretty much broke and his car hit a wall

he lived

since then omnipower has revised the coilover design adding more material to the shock body
