..................from Ebay:hide:
Ok don't start with the flaming I'm just asking a question. I did a search and didn't find any info on Ebay generic or Godspeed brand LCA's. Then I realized whoever might have bought them wouldn't readily admit it. I see them listed from $350 - $400 so someone must have been tempted.
If you have them post up and let's hear how good or bad they are and how long you've had them. And if the fronts increase steering angle significantly. Don't be afraid the flames won't hurt.
BTW We've already heard the saying "you get what you pay for" so no need to up your post count with that one :squint:

for that much money, just go with powered by max or MA motorsports spindle/control arm combos.

All of the LCA setups you see are copied from - Ikeya Formula
The best of the copies is the Battle Version - at least from the ones i have seen in person.
In making your decision for using a spherical style LCA, consider the use / purpose of the vehicle.

The megan racing ones looks decently made, but I don't have any first hand experience with them...

They list both S13 and S14 fitment, but the rear Aarms mounting points are wider on S14s. I'm wondering if these come with longer spacers for that, or if someone doesn't know the difference and you have to add washers or buy new spacers for them to work on an S14. I'm curious about that more so than anything.

^^^ Good point Russ! I also noticed that the rears are listed as fitting both, and had one of those 'huh?' moments.
I agree that they're copied from Ikeya formula... I myself am going to make a couple sets of front LCAs based on the Ikeya design (and using my heims) which should be great - Blu808's going to do my fab though.
If anyone does have the ebay LCA's, take some pics of the heim joints - I can definitely supply some better ones so you can virtually eliminate the chance of binding/breaking an LCA on a bump/crashing into something.

Who makes the higher quality LCA's? My car has mostly battle version stuff in it.

I never usually get on the ebay parts flaming roster, however of all parts the FLCA is one of the most important.
It also takes the most abuse.
Try driving around with a FLCA ball joint popping out, horridly unsafe.
