They are almost night and day difference the function7 and the new omni's are in a league of thier own and the rest are pretty equal.I wouldnt worry about it unless you autox your car alot.I mean alot like every weekend.The ups to getting them and saving the weight is minimal now the adjustability of the function7 new omni lca's is another story with a nice swaybar you can feel that immediately.

Keep in mind the new Omni does not take as much advantage of adjustability for the swaybar over the Function7 LCAs... on the order of 100% difference.

over the Blox, well, totally different league.

Blox are shorter than Stock LCAs, stay away from them.

Yes, I would recommend the same thing, stay away from any LCA that modifies the geometry of the rear suspension. I didn't know they were shorter than stock though, good to know.

would the itr swaybar be able to bolt up to the v3 lca without the adjustable links?

I'm talking the actual length of the LCA. Blox makes them shorter to decrease camber by pulling in the bottom of the wheel. Not a good idea to change susp. geometry like that IMO

autox228

funtion7 and new omni comes wit polyurethan bushings. blox comes wit hard rubber bushings..

i have both blox and stock, they appear to be the same length, is the difference in mm?

nonsense

I'm not sure how much different they are in mm but the info comes from here:

that link only states that info for da dc2 and eg, i have them for an ek/ej and it says they are forged? i thought they were billet. i just sent blox an email for clarification as they have no info listed on here own site.

blinx9900

ok it has been confirmed, i emailed blox asking:

hello, regarding the rear lca's for the 96-00 civic, are they stock
length?

there response:

Yes, they are stock OEM length sized LCAs.

nonsense

Thanks for the update

You do not need adjustable endlinks to bolt up the factory rear swaybar, you can use the OEM endlink.

really if your going to spend money. buy the best. function 7s are a peace of art that perform. and i'm quite parshall to the black poly bushings compared to the takie blue poly bushings that come with the omni units

my bad i didnt know this was baller-tech, and its not always true either example: spoon oil cap $75 stock type r oil cap $50 stock autozone oil cap $8 is the spoon oil cap really better than the rest? i know a lot of the time price=quality but not always.

spooledhonda

now your being a retard. the kid is asking about LCAs. not ****** autozone oil caps that your obsessing about. stay on topic and stop wasting someones thread. he wants info on the topic.

kid go with the 7s. bottem line, you'll be more satisfied for the extra $30.

oneoffaccord

where can you find the functions? ill search right now

dude dont talk **** to me cause i proved you wrong, this is very much ON topic, we are talking about cost effectiveness, the oil caps were an example, dont get pissed off cause i proved your wrong. what am i obsessing over? your such a drama queen.... another clown who cant communicate effictevely

beav

damn yo...both of you need to stop being sissy little girls and spend your time on something better...gramar for example.... go learn the difference between "your" and "you're"....
but if i had to pick a side..i'd also say the oil cap kid is retarded...you didn't prove anyone wrong. an oil cap has no performance function which is what the thread was about. therefore, you are off topic. and i hope you're happy with your jdm oil cap.
see what i did there???...study that.
and while you're at it...you might wanna pick up on "there", "their" and "they're"...
those are real toughies also.

dude, he said you get what you pay for, i was showing him that was not always the case with an example using oil caps, i will learn gramar if you learn how to read, i never said i had one so i dont know why you said "i hope your happy with your jdm oil cap". and i think most people would argue that lca's have no performance function either. anyways the OP said "i always hear u buy what u pay for" this was simply being disputed so once again i am NOT off topic. im sorry you cant understand that.

"and i think most people would argue that lca's have no performance function either. "

ok blinxs say this cus we know your spelling is so great

*high ham saw fokein we tat ed* &lt;--------YOU


just stop posting. you know nothing. function 7s come with a 3 way ajd. for the sway bar to be mounted. it looks like this


{O}=={O}=='''==={O} {O}==='''=={O}=={O}


^ ^
i hope this comes out rite when i post this, but this is a puter pix of LCAs. those 3 ''' are the 3 way adj. for the sway bar. from the outside to the inside it goes soft, med, hard. that is a performance function! and the fact that is has poly mounts is also a performance function! oh and there light weight aluminum too! yet another performance function! WOW there's 3 performance function that you didn't know about. you should delete your HT name immedeitly. and you have no rite to post in this or any other thread every again.

sorry for the overkill on this but he's a dumb-***. and need to know what is what. so there's 3 good reasons to get the functions

here is a link to what i think is the best LCA on the market
