Anyone have any experience with the RS-R LCAs? Can't find any solid reviews on them.

Function7 makes a darn good LCA. These are what I will be getting: http://function-7.com/products/sti-lca




or the Velox's, if they ever release.

Purchased the SPL LCA's. I will auto X a few times and give some feedback on the differences.

Vendor pricing seems to be a bit better than direct.

I ran the ISCs, and my experience was that they squeak like crazy, switched to SPL, and they are silent

still autoxing (once or twice a week all season) and tracking on the stock ones.

still see no need to spend unless i want more than -1.8 camber in the rear which i have from a bit of lowering.

Gunna be going with the stance ones. My fortune autos don't go low enough in the back, and the only way to easily fix that is to go with the stand LCAs.

Edit: although I currently have Megan racing LCAs. Quite happy with them, no crazy noises, easy to adjust, well built. Just don't lower the rear at all

SPL bumps you up to SM for AutoX FYI

It's fine, I'm just practicing, I don't care about placement.

How do you align if you can't adjust camber, which you can't on the stock ones?

Does anyone else find it hilarious that the Cusco LCAs have the most votes, yet they are the only ones I have heard of being damn near impossible to adjust on the car.

Whitelines = Awesome for track, heavy duty, noisy bearings

SPC = DD friendly, gets your camber aligned perfectly, 0 noise, great price


I never track my car and the Whitelines were just pretty much eye candy. I ended up swapping back and getting my money back. Just wasn't using them for what they were made for. They are very well built and I'm sure the new owner is enjoying them on his AutoX car.
