Default Lower Control Arms help 60ft times

Do after market lower control arms help with keeping the weight over the front wheels? Anyone have an experience or notice any difference with just this particular modification?

I know stiffer suspension in the rear as well as corner weighting the car with an emphasis of keeping the weight in the front all help, but what about aftermarket lower control arms?

My thinking is that the stiffer bushings they come with will help with the squating of the rear during hard acceleration, is my thinking on par? Or am I just totally off with this theory?

Anyone have an experience or notice any difference with just this particular modification?

we were just talking about this over the weekend. but we were talking more about wheel hop and traction issues. Its definately something we're going to do. unfortunately, we're limited to oem control arms, so we're gonna do the bushings.

Are you talking about the front lower control arms?

What I meant to say was the rear LCA's...sorry.

I think the omni front LCA's would probably help keep the front wheels from moving back and forth like traction bars do.

No, just a weight saving option
