Default more eye candy?

well a few days ago i was driving around some back roads just crusin since it was so nice out. had my windows down and i noticed on bumps and turns asqueaking kinda noise. pulled over, checked around the car, pressed it down to try to mimic the sound and nothing. i stand back and look at the car, i notice the rear passenger side of the car was a bit lower than normal. look under the car around the suspension and notice the LCA bushing is torn up and the shock bolt is a bit lower, not centered like it should be. baby it back home and ordered some Function7 LCA's...

the old Blox LCA's

That'll happen with almost any "cheap" aftermarket LCA's in a year, 2 max. Whether it be Blox, Megan Racing, JDM Ricey LCAs, etc.
But, companies like Function 7 and Skunk2 make real nice LCAs with poly bushings. Real the key is poly bushings. They wear out too but not as quick. Also ES or poly bushings in stock LCA's rock just as much, well, I speak for EG's not EK's.
