Stance, Cusco, SPC, all in stock. Whiteline LCA's are a friggen unicorn with a leprechaun riding it into a rainbow.

We've had our order in for them almost a year now....

Hey Jeremy, my Stance LCA'S arrived today as promised and they look as good as I am sure they will work! Everythings going on tomorrow.

these look nice and are cheap. Not sure of the quality of the design or bushings though.

We have been making LCA's for over 10 years for the Honda/Acura market and are just starting to diversify into other brands. Talk to any knowledgeable Honda/Acura enthusiast and they can tell you about us.

Our products are designed from the ground up with extensive FEA modeling and then the prototypes are abused on the track (and off-road rallies) to ensure that they perform as they should. Our "accelerated testing" phases typically last about 2+ years before each final production-level product is released. The bushings and design on our arms have also been tried and tested in our other products, and have held up well over 9-10 years. We were the first to provide a lifetime warranty on all our suspension arms, including the bushings and fittings etc, and we continue to do so with our Subaru/Scion/Toyota product line.

Price wise, we priced our FRS/BRZ/WRX arms in-line with our Honda/Acura products. Over on the Honda/Acura side, we're seen as "expensive" -- go figure. We don't believe that it is right to overcharge our customers for an item that is largely similar to our existing products so that is why we priced them accordingly. That said, we are currently running an intro special on our BRZ/FRS/WRX arms just to get the word out. That is reflected in the price of the arms that you see -- do expect the price to go up after the introductory pricing period is over.

Our arms feature a -4mm/+16mm camber/track adjustment, and also multiple sway bar mount points to fine-tune the sway bar stiffness. Camber/track adjustment is via an offset cam. The range of adjustment is set by the stopper bolt on each arm, and it is easy to swap out the screw to change te range of adjustment.

We do have more Subaru/Toyota/Scion products that are scheduled to be released soon so do keep a look out in the upcoming weeks/months.

Please feel free to PM us if you have any questions about our products. We will be happy to help!

Cheers!!
