FAO Skunk2 lca group buy members

To any one who took part in the Skunk2 lca group buy on Rovertech, it appears they may be fakes, I'll post a link shortly.http://cms.skunk2.com/id/707/Fake-LCA-Alert/

Comment 44 about 8 and 5 groove bushes, mine are 8 groove so may well be fakes, which also means that they may not be 2024T6 alloy as claimed, I wish I'd just poly bushed the standard arms, which was my original plan.

To say I'm annoyed is an understatement.

Great! Just what I needed to hear!

Me too, we await Rob's response as to the authenticity or otherwise, Im wary of them because they could be made of any monkey alloy.

Bloody hell, people will copy anything these days.

i heard about some "issues" with a batch of skunk2 LCA's, couple of guys i know got sets for there 200 coupe's no-no fit :S

As i said in the original thread pointless upgrade. They are designed for civic ek's. Plenty of cheaper copies fit on civic ek's just fine. Our arms are quite different.

Ahhh FFS!

this is really bad news and cant believe Rob would knowing sell on fakes!

just checked the ones i bought (Not through rob) and acording to the skunk web site these are fakes 2

gonna let the guy know who i bought them off and notify ebay but hey now't will happen!

not a cat in hells am i fitting these to the Reyland ZS!

and to really PIS£ me off i sold a set of polybushed stock items when i bought these.

Frigging ebay really racks me off with things like this as they take no responsibility at all

Anyone else confirm they are fake items from rob?

quick look at the bushes will tell fakes have 8 groves.

There has been some info, the 8 or 5 groove bushes are a Red Herring, Skunk2 has used both.

If you go to the Skunk2 website there are good pictures of the arms so you can compare yours with the pictures, I've checked mine and the machining and finish compare well with the ones on their website, I'm 100% these are the genuine article.

ahhh that even more annoying as i have just emailed the guy calling him a complete Wank%^r for selling me fakes lol!

guess i better mail skunk to comfirm or has that already been done as there site says they only use 5 grooved bushes?

looking at pictures the proper items have a part number stamped on side, min don't, do the ones rob supplied have a part number on?

umm pretty sure mine are fakes going buy the pictures, mine a supposed to be black series and the pic's show no machining marks and should be satin not anodized ARSE!
