Energy Suspension makes the best ones you could get them at summit. Id suggest doing all of them while your at it. Plus it a very good suspension mod

You can either replace the arms or bushings with stock rubber or get a set of Energy Suspension or Prothane bushings and put them in-very simple upgrade for the lower control arms. If you need the BIG ones for the trailing arms that is a different story. The general choices are to find a pair of stock units or go with either the ES or Prothane replacements. The Trailing Arms should be removed from the car to do them tho.
Where to buy the parts-Summit or Ultra Performance is where I shop for these items. Stock-online or your local dealer. My dealer matches online pricing.

The LCA's or more properly titled trailing arms should be fine, just check for any cracks above and around the main bushing. use a standard bush, i cant stress this strongly enough, see my other post in the other current thread about passive rear steering. The only problem is changing the bush, you need a press to do it!
