OEM or Aftermarket LCA recommendations
Posted a thread earlier looking into replacing LCA due to wear, if anybody has any experience with aftermarket quality and fitment please share thanks in advance.

If you go aftermarket, I'd look into Mugen or Spoon. They're basically the best fit with slight stiffer material.
If you're in the US, the USD/Yen exchange rate is pretty good. RHDJapan has good prices.

Yes I did consider just bushings but the amount of work involved I think it’s easier just changing out the whole LcA personally. I also would feel better knowing that they are new and free of defect. I was thinking about the k tuned camber kit as they do use a harder than stock rubber just don’t know how I feel about 4 small bolts holding the camber plate together. And Magen and spoon are a definite thought.

I don't think I've ever seen aftermarket LCA for this car, K-tuned does only do upper control arms.
Unless the stock arms are bent just get new bushings, have them cleaned and put on some new paint for protection.

Ride quality is not rough, coilovers are used @ it's full potential due to lesser lateral movement.

I track my car a lot, and OEM one is bend really easy for me, I dont know why.
I am already replace 3 LCA.
However, I try a LCA from amazon and only cost me $100+ compare to OEM $300+, but amazon one did not bend yet.
unfortunately, they only make front one, no rear one.
also I saw ballade have LCA with better bushing, I think it is really good choice, I will try when I got some money to replace my rear LCA

This can be flawed reasoning for this car. Most oem parts on this car are superior to most aftermarket alternatives. So you could easily replace a superior part in excellent condition with an inferior one. End result is you spend money to make your car worse. Be careful of falling into that trap.
