In terms of weight, I don't think so. I just weighed one of my DA rear LCAs with a full set of Energy bushings and it's about 4 lbs. I've heard the SSR LCAs are around 2 lbs. Is that worth $200?

Also, I find it hard to believe that the SRR LCA is acutally stronger than the OEM version. The OEM LCA is beefy cast iron, and the SRR is beveled and drilled aluminum. Whatever...

Spend your money on a useful part. Aftermarket LCAs are all bling...

Unless you're using them to change geometry (which is only a good thing if you know what you're doing), then they are of little use. Yes, they reduce unsprung weight, which is good, but you could spend the money of wheels/tires and reduce unsprung, rotational weight, which is better. Or, apply the money towards a driving school, which is even better yet.
