Feedback on Blox Racing rear lower control arms? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Does anyone run the Blox Racing rear lower control arms? What do you think of them?

Do the urethane bushings squeak?

I am contemplating returning my uninstalled SPC control arms and getting the Blox because they have a superior camber adjustment mechanism.

I'm interested in hearing some feedback on these as well. They look just like the RS*R rear lower control arms

They're literally identical to the RSR LCA's, they're likely made in the same factory or same supplier if I had to guess.

I've had mine for 6 months or so and approximately 3k miles. They've seen 5-6 autocross events and no issues at all.

Quality seems nice, heavy gauge steel construction, powder coated, nice welds, beefy turnbuckles.

They also SCCA STX legal as they use a poly bushing compared to many competitor offerings if that's relevant to you.

I Installed mine with a healthy amount of poly lube anyway and have had no squeaking.

No complaints.

I only installed mine in the fall shortly before hibernation so can’t offer much feedback at this point. Did like the construction and finish, but especially the low price from FT86Motersports Canadian operation.

Man I must have got a shitty pair of Blox LCAs. I had to redrill a hole where it connects to the subframe mount because the backing plate was welded on crooked..

The quality of mine kinda sucked but I fixed that sucker up because I needed to replace my bent OEM LCA asap last winter. Guess I was unlucky and got the short end of the stick.

Also got it from FT86Motorsports which was fast and reliable when they have stock.

My only issue with the Blox is the urethane bushings. I have read that no matter what you do urethane bushings will start to squeak and need to be re-greased frequently. For this reason I think I will stay with the SPC control arms.
