| Anyone know where to get a good set of Lower Control Arms. I've been looking for some and am trying to figure out what Set I want. I like Function7's because of the quality, but they're pricey. I'm wondering if anyone has experience with Blox LCA's because they're more in my price range. Let me know if anyone has any or knows where I can get the hookup. Also, feel free to share your experiences with any LCA's you've used...positive or negative. Thanks guys... | |

| Yeah...I was actually thinking about doing that too. Don't know what i'm gonna do yet. I actually found some MFactory LCA's...all their stuff seems to be pretty good quality. It's about 200 for the pair, but it's really good stuff. http://www.teammfactory.com/products.php?category=Rear%20Lower%20Control%20Arms . They use Teflon lined Bearings instead of the Rubber or Urethane ones on other LCA's. And the Bearings are replaceable. As any of you know with owning any aftermarket LCA, when the bushings go out, you have to buy a new control arm. Anyway, what do you think of the mfactory ones? | |

| Yeah...I don't mind if it's stiff...as long as it performs well. I like feeling the road and knowing I have COMPLETE control over the car. It won't be Much stiffer anyway because i'm getting H&R Race springs (came in today actually) and they're going to be super stiff already. Going for aggressive...and this should be exactly that...may hold off on the control arms though till I can afford these...cause right now 200 for some control arms is a little steep for me. Anyone got any Energy Suspension Bushings? Hey Brad...What bushings did you put in? And don't say "ALL of them"...i want to know, did you get front CA Bushings and Rear LCA bushings AND the Strut mount bushings? or did you not do the strut mount bushings? How do you like it? | |
