The owner of this car just lose his EG hatch in Sydney. He is our customer and We never sell this cheap LCA set up . He basicly just drive the car on the straight road at 60-70kph , all of a sudden his rear LCA snapped without hitting any pot hole . Car spun 360 degree and hit a street lamp post . Nearly ended up his life in silly way .

Pic of actual car will be posted within a week.

A good lesson for all of us . Cheap bling came with free lamp post or you might end up losing your life other way while you are driving on the road.

From what my customer told me . He doesnt hit any pot holes before the accident. So no impact no nothing. Yes way it simply gave up like that!

[EKVTIR-T]

There's 2 breaks though.No way it would suddenly just snap in 2 places...

Something fishy going on

[bennjamin]

dam ! It kinda looks like that old taiwanese brand....cant think of the name it sold multi-colored swaybar + red reinforcement...not good quality at all.

[EKVTIR-T]

Isn't it a girls name..lol ;)

[EG5]

car never been to track , only street driven
had those lca for couple months only.

[z3lda]

even the cheapest of cheap lca's don't just break like that.

its either incorrect installation of the lca's or suspension or he hit something for sure.

[BADHBT]

this one looks like its made out of concrete!
lol

[dynosaur]

so scary... :(

[hisoka]

this one looks like its made out of concrete!
lol

i was also going to ask why does it look like concrete lol,

anyway good the guy is okai,

[dupac->]

probably hit something else on the lca while he was spinning out into the lamp post.

and damn i was ready to get a free lamp post with this purchase, according to the title
lol :(

[mrwillz]

^.. so he randomly spun out?

[dc2dc2dc2]

funnehz
lol
reminds me of fake recaros snapping in half
when u slam on brakes or vtec too mcuh

[z3lda]

Sorry guys not from us.

These are different design and from fracture points, they look like cast alloy.

6061 grade and billit material doesnt snap like that. They tend to stretch like steel properties.

[baeshin]

marketing scheme

jks.. il jus stik wif my dc2r lca until im hardcore enuff to buy the ones from jdmyard

[bennjamin]

this LCA in question , is definitely cast....alloy of some sort. No design behind it , its simply made in a shape and cast in that shape. Much like "copy" wheels of popular brands ( for example ROTA rims) they will behave unknown in extra stress or impacts . IE they will break !

yeah that picture so reminds me of that rota wheel that snapped at all 6 spokes...

oh haiz

agree with that there

and u didnt come pick up ur phones lolol

[BADHBT]

i was also going to ask why does it look like concrete lol,

anyway good the guy is okai,


because i have seen it..
imagine a broken brick... now look back at the picture

[STiR]

That's disgusting. If the cheap garbage you buy won't slow you down, it will probably kill you.

[hisoka]

wtf, so rota rim can also break like that~ ?
buddy club>rota ?? is it, iam pretty sure buddyclub, just checking

[SiReal]

OEM is best. Honda don't spend millions upon millions on R&D just to have little kids change these parts for cheap bling *street cred*.

But ppl do, so responsibility and fault is purely their own.

[Benson]

Rota rims are fine.. we used it on the track for like 4-5times before we sold it...

[nd55]

> Much like "copy" wheels of popular brands, for example ROTA rims


ROTA wheels have been around for a while.
The design might be copied, but the manufacture is beyond reproach for a non-forged wheel.
Proven for many years.

sorry i cant understand~ lol reproach ? i put it into Microsoft word it still i cant make sense~

is buddy club forged then ??

[tseesinngwailo]

is there more pictures? and a picture of same brand arm BEFORE its broken? and what is the nylon plastic thing? it looks snapped too, but i cant work out what would go through that hole that wasnt metal

[Zdster]

;1778115']yeah that picture so reminds me of that rota wheel that snapped at all 6 spokes...

I still think that has as much to do witht the design of the wheel compared with the material that they were made out of.

[Zdster]

Swaybar connection bushing maybe?

Hey guys,

i'm the owner of the car. If u guys r wondering heres what happened. I was driving back from school. It was a straight road with a slight left hand bend. Speed limit on the road was 70km/h. I was doing about 70-80km/h cant really remember.

This is what happened. I was in the right lane, suddenly there was a snap, car started to lose control & started to yaw to the right. I tried to turn it to the left cause i was almost on the wrong side of the road heading for oncoming traffic. At this point my rear right tyre blew causing me to spin 180 degress straight into the electric post on the left lane. Impact was at 80km/h on the drivers side.

I didnt hit anything or go over any pot holes prior to the accident. The coppers came & took a statement & said if i dont get a report written from a mechanic stating it was a mechanical fault they were gonna charge me with reckless driving. F**cking pigs.

I got the report the day itself & i dont have to pay any fine to the cops or for the electric pole. But i still lost my eg. Very sad day.

So this is a lesson to all u guys. Dont buy megan racing LCA. I'm gonna be parting out my car pretty soon. So just look out for that.

Cheers

yeah the brushing r from the sway bar endlinks.

[90LAN]

any pics of damage ?

[z3lda]

plastic endlinks for the sway bar??

what brand was the sway bars?

[Moya]

Wouldn't a car slammed on King springs put extra tension of the LCA's? Coming out of a corner too hard, cheap LCA, cheap springs and hello snapped something.

[EGB18CT]

sounds fishy but none the less ur ok...

[hisoka]

i hope you told the person you bought it off~, this could cause some serious injury to someone else who is not as lucky as you~

[SiReal]

thank God you are ok dude.

[blackglass]

plastic endlinks for the sway bar??

what brand was the sway bars?
EK9 sway bar & endlinks.

I was driving on buddyclub N+ not cheap king springs.

[jdm_kid]

man u should email Megan Racing.

quick i wanna see teh parting out thread lol

[defect]

OMG lesson learnt for me,dont buy cheap bling LCA.

I sold blackglass the megan racing LCA and n+ coilovers. I have nothing to hide. Both items were purchased 2nd hand but advertised as brand new (UNUSED). Mechanic had trial fit it on my car for a period of 3 weeks but it only sat at mechanics workshop. being pushed in and out of workshop. Never drove on it as my motor was being assembled.

The LCA were purchased from a ex-trader from this forum, advertised as brand new. When I recieved them, the bushes seem like they were worn or came off another car. I asked the guy for a refund but he refused, I ended up with new coilovers because my friend has n+ and the comfort was shit. So went with Cusco zero2 and they dont use the same LCA, so I grabbed some DC2R LCA and ended up selling these.

Im very sorry for your loss Marc and very glad no one was hurt.

[eg5civic]

good to hear your ok mate

I think this thread should be an example to everyone that wants to skimp on important parts and buy cheap stuff

Sad to hear about your EG mate but i'm sure the part out will be good...

[Sexc86]

Now THAT is ****ed up. Fair enough if an aftermarket manufacture makes a product for RACE only use, and not street. But low workmanship, low material quality. Really these manufactures should be charged with manslaughter.

[baeshin]

if anyone is interested in these baller megan lca

While YOU cannot be held responsible for this incident ~ there is every possibility that you might of had an impact unknown or anything !
Still , this kind of thing shouldnt happen....

Any issues on Honda-tech ?!

can't seem to find anything related or ever of an incident like this.

maybe a bad case of been unlucky. :thumbdwn:

[zco]

i reckon you installed one of your suspension components wrong. maybe the bolt going through the LCA and your coilover came loose
causing your car to spin and would have broken the LCA during the process

how can your tyre just blow that easily

a proper well known workshop installed this
He didnt install this DIY way

I think bad batch and low quality control

[Limbo]

i agree with Ben, it looks like it hit something to crack at 2 points like that.

Normally if is a defect in the metal they break in one place and you don't see the stress marks in the metal bending

I purchased the coilovers & LCA while my car was off road, how do you bloody think I can drive the car with no motor, is a mystery. There is no possibility that I damaged them. dont make any assumptions

told everyone my experience with the LCA, I had it on the car for 3 weeks but didnt get to drive it "AT ALL". the buyer came to the shop and picked it up. My car was still offroad for another month after the sale. I'm pretty sure when the buyer came and purchased the LCA and n+, he had inspect both items and Im pretty sure it was as new except for the worn bushes like I mentioned earlier.

If I had anything to hide, I wouldnt of even replied in this thread. think about it :>

[zco]

all it takes is one nut to come loose..
his aftermarket suspension is stiffer than oem.. can make the bolt between fork and LCa come loose, and the bolt can slide out whilst he turns..
coilover dislodges from LCa and collapses, causing tyre to pop ? who knows.. anyhting could have happened.

professional work shop or not, there is only one way to install suspension

Yeah Who knows what happened
Anything can happen.

[geeang]

Are the lamp posts available in different sizes? And can I have one without death plz? What colours are there available?

[bennjamin]

If I had anything to hide, I wouldnt of even replied in this thread. think about it :>

dont jump on the defense bandwagon no one is saying this is YOUR fault.

Its just that the person in question has no idea how this happened. Could of been anything really which we wont ever know.

[defect]

I'm just explaining to you why there is NO possibility that I could of damaged it. The buyer hasnt even questioned me and you have already made assumptions that its possible I 'might' of had a impact?

End of the day, just glad it didnt cost anyones life. thats it
