Well, as some of you may know, I haven't yet lowered the back of my car. The stupid LCA bolts are at fault, as usual. Anyway, I figure since I'm already going to be replacing the bolt, I might as well just be a pimp and get new LCA's altogether. Well, I was looking around, and I found that Megan Racing are the least expensive "quality" LCA's (I'm not paying double the price for the same thing only made by Skunk2). Anyway, my question is this: do the Megan Racing LCA's come with bushings? Because I was looking at a picture of them (StreetStyler.com) and they have bushings in the picture, but it doesn't say anything in the description regarding bushings. I really don't want to spend the extra $30 for bushings if I don't need to.

 

What's an LCA do again?

 

It's a Lower Control Arm... it basically ties the bottom of thesuspension to the car...

EDIT: changed the link

 

im pretty sure they would come with bushings, tho their probably not poly bushings, just hard rubber.

 

Well, I've been thinking about it, and it doesn't really make sense to sella set of LCAs without the bushings, so I'm guessing they have stock-ish bushings, like you suggested. I plan on eventually getting a full poly bushing kit, but I might just get the lower rear bushings and save myself the hassle of ripping apart the lca's again in the future... after all, what's $30 for a little less work later on down the road?

Now, any ideas on how to get the bushings out of the MR LCAs that doesn't involve an open flame on my brand new LCA's? (or do you think a propane torch won't hurt the finish? After all, I'm pretty much just getting the LCAs for looks... I'll admit it lol)

 

u'll need a press and the right sized pieces to press the bushings out. it also needs to be done very carefully because with 20 tons of pressure, it can easily bend the arm.

 

I have Megan LCAs and they came with the bushings in them. It's been 2 years and the bushing are already crap. They aren't the same size as the stock bushing so, I'm going to have to modify my new poly bushings to fit.

 

Well I hate saying this, and I don't know how much it will help you, but other than the function 7's, ive heard that the oem ones are about as high quality as you can get them, bushing wise at least. Then again, you want the bling factor, so i think civicexracer had luck with the blox ones.

 

But the skunk2 Look way better then any of those and comes with a poly bushing? you get what you pay for. Sk2 also has great customer service.
