So after looking at the geometry on the Blox LCA's and the sway bar, they are garbage. Suggestions on new LCA's are welcome. I have a set of stock ones but I don't think they have the sway bar mount on them. Blox will be on the market as soon as I get replacements. They seem like they would be fine just to drop a little weight and drive around town but they will not suit my application.

Spend the extra cash and go for the Skunk 2 ones, can't go wrong. Run them on my eg coupe with a itr 23mm rear sway bar, no problems.

Just throwing out a plug because I told my new parts guy I would. Having a background in the automotive aftermarket I am kinda picky about who I deal with. I stumbled across www.kennypowersmotorsports.com and the site looked like the guy was no-bull**** so I decided to send him an email asking for some Honda parts because they are not shown on the site (mostly Mitsu and Suby). The owner ended up calling me and we bs'ed back and forth for about a half hour and he got me a great price and the parts showed up correct and EARLY! I would 100% recommend him for any of your parts needs.

Should have been in the review section probably but I figured I would just include it with my build.
