I just got a 95 lx sedan with stock everything and I wanted to buy some LCA and front and rear strut bars but im jobless which means im broke. So I was wondering about getting ebay ones but wanted to know everyones opinion if there worth it.

They won't last nearly as long or ride as nice... not worth it IMO because it takes time to swap them out and replace them once they go bad. A good set will ride better and last much longer. :thumb:

And the LCA's should be fine. :thumb:

Like teal said, the lca's should be fine. I've got the $40 (shipped) ebay coilovers w/stock struts on my car right now, and it rides like crap. It gives me the lowered look I wanted, but the spring rate is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY too soft. It can be very bouncy at times. Every time I drive it, I swear that some better coilovers will be my next purchase.

k so forget the struts since the LCAs are fine i guess the subframe that comes with them would be ok too? I know this is the wrong section to ask but what about the fog lights aswell some say there good some say bad everyone says the switches suck lol.

the foglight kit i bought off ebay sucked. wiring shorted out and melted. then the switch went bad.

if you're jobless, modding your car probably isnt a wise choice.

I've been rocking the EbayDM fogs for almost a year now. The wiring has been fine, but the switch DID mess up so I had to source a new one.
