I have heard several people complain about blox bushings not lasting very long on, whether daily driver or track. factory would be better than blox. t least your factory bushings will last

Yes I did autox on them, but they only lasted about a year! That's nothing! My stock LCA bushings lasted about 13 years/200k miles and are still in perfect condition...If you drive your car daily and/or plan to even just have some spirited street driving, I seriously advise against them. Buy a good set with poly bushings and never worry about them again. I'm not the only one to run into issues with them... As clearly stated by Sigracer10. If you don't spend the money on the camber kits, you'll have enough to buy a good set of LCA's. The camber kits are unnecessary. Get an alignment and regularly rotate your tires and you'll be fine.

So today i went ahead and bought a Front si lip, got it installed but was kinda tough, i had to push it really hard to get it to wrap around my bumper to screw it in. The E-Brake handle fit in perfect and looks way better! Also i tried to get the nuts off of the rear sway bar links, but they were rusted on so i had to cut them off. I just order a new set of links today from ebay, 2 for 28 bucks, way better than checkers 1 for 43 dollars (wtf).

anyways...pics!

Ill be picking up paint today to get the lip finished up. I have monday and tuesday off so i think then i will pull my control arm off and get a new bushing put in so that damn squeaking stops. So i think ive pretty much decided not to get control arms for the fact they are really just for show, but also my stock ones have holes to mount a stabilizer bar. This i did not know (was the only reason i was gonna get aftermarket LCA's).

So to finish up my suspension i will get that rear stabilizer bar on, a rear strut tower brace, a tie bar brace (will probably make my own), and then get some KYB AGXs all around.

After this i really really need to get a new clutch and find a better tranny, its getting worse by the day =(.
