guys, i'm a little stuck here. this is an age-old question, but i figured maybe someone can help persuade me one way or another (or another)
as i'm sure, all of you are aware - there are 6,000 companies churning out lower control arms (front and rear). some are known junk, some are better than OEM, and some are right in the middle.
here's my scenerio:
- i have a daily driven '93 CX with a D15B swap
- i have Function & Form Type 1's
- i have OEM lower control arms
- i have BUSTED lca bushings
- i have a terrible ride to work every day thanks in part to the bushings (or lack-there-of)
what do you all reccomend i do?
1. buy replacement bushings and have them pressed into OEM
2. buy a mid-range price/quality LCA (i.e. Function & Form) and drive them until i need new bushings
3. buy quality LCAs (i.e. Function 7) and suck it up until i can afford them
i hate to be a broken record, but i think if we have one thread discussing LCAs with PERSONAL input, it'd be very helpful. *note* i said PERSONAL, not tell me what your buddy has and how you rode with him once.
i am leaning toward a mid-range product due to not having TONS of money to toss at a F7 setup or similar, and one day when i get another daily i can really drop some money on nice parts for my hatch.
