Agency Power vs. Cusco RLCA's
 
Hey guys, I am looking to add some rear LCA's to my car. I recently installed HSD HR coilovers and lowered the vehicle a fair amount. I badly need some rear camber correction.

These are the 2 models I am looking at. I am looking for user reviews or good comparisons.

Why not Figs?

Agency Power has a pretty bad rep on these forums for their exhaust parts, if they can't get something as simple (and non load-bearing) as that figured out I'd worry about using suspension parts form them.

I personally dislike their business ethics but can't speak to the quality from anything but pictures I've seen online.

For camber only I'd wait and get some upper arms when they are available (Several are in development at the moment), it's a more effective treatment that will have less side effects on the toe.

Other than that, I think both Whiteline and RacerX Fab are making lower arms and I'd trust both of them way more than AP and even Cusco.

I have the Agency Power Header-back. For what it's worth, the system has been nothing but good to me. It also sounds like a beast.

Stay away from Agency Power at all costs.

Whiteline rear lca still aren't available. From what I have read Cuscos are a pain to adjust. RacerX lca are available now and a couple of people on these forums already have them and have offered positive reviews.

I'm hoping this doesn't blow up in my face again but...

why those two specifically? as the above have mentioned, there are other (very good and very valid) options. what kind of rear camber setting are you seeking? what is your price point?

empower-auto 05-02-2013 09:01 PM

those 2 because I deal with both companies and prefer to support them. I also deal with whiteline but I don't want huge yellow arms that are backordered forever

EarlQHan 05-02-2013 09:14 PM

Understood. AP will be lighter and easier to adjust. Cusco will be stronger and stiffer. Now it's just a matter of which is more important to you.

empower-auto 05-02-2013 09:51 PM

what is the cause of Cusco's being harder to adjust?

Captain, I have the Cusco rear control arms.
They are a complete pain in the arse to adjust due to the adjustment nuts being contained within the rear subframe. I've actually thought about cutting the subframe!

I haven't weighed both but the AP's actually felt heavier.

It's a pain in the ass on both to get a wrench on the nut by the heim joint. I trimmed where it mounts a bit on my car to make it easy but i couldn't see others wanting to do that. I have the AP's FWIW.
