Default Stiffer rear lower control arm and other stiff suff.



How effective are these LCAs? Not sure if I really need it. Does it improve anything except being stiffer or just a Bling Bling adder?

Current set up I have is.
-Koni Yellow
-Ground Control
-camber kits
-Neuspeed front upper and Spoon rear upper(were supposed to come in yesterday )

I'm planing to run at track few times this summer.

1.Any of you running with SPC LCA here? I can get it about 70% less than SRR's.

If you have extra time, give me some input on these too.
2.Should I get tie bars also? They are tiny but so expensive. Well, reputable brand named ones.
3.What else is there other than thicker swaybars? No, no planning to get Tein RS, thank you.

Based on experience here, they aren't much of an improvement over stock LCA's. They aren't much lighter, and they aren't much stiffer. For those without sway bar arm attatchments, they might be useful, but to the rest of us, they're a waste.

if you slideways hit something, your chassis will bend insted of your Stock LCA like it's supposed to..

if you want a firmer ride use energy bushings, yes they suck trying to install but worth it
