Note that you don't want them on both ends of the lcas. They need to twist a bit when the car rolls in a turn.2000 Firebird convert, chameleon/tan, M5, Y87, TCS, BMR tower brace and panhard, KBDD sfcs, 245/50-16 GSCsComment

If you use the stock LCA, you can and should use them on both ends, as the stock LCA is designed to twist and avoid suspension bind. I would NOT recommend poly/poly on a tubular LCA as they DO NOT twist.Robert - owner www.FirebirdV6.com/CamaroV6.com

This is what I am doing...poly on both ends with the stock arm. Seems to work great.
Also, listen to V6Bob and FirebirdGT on suspension suggestions....you will be happy in the end.- Josh<br />If you have any questions or need installation pics/help, e-mail me: Viper98885@aol.com<br /><a href=\"http://Camaroz28.cardomain.com/id/viper98885\" target=\"_blank\">\'93 Camaro Hardtop</a><br /><a href=\"http://Camaroz28.cardomain.com/id/01lincolnls8\" target=\"_blank\">\'01 Lincoln LS8 Sport</a><br />\'00 Yamaha YZF-R6<br /><a href=\"http://www.ftpp.net\" target=\"_blank\">Full Throttle Performance</a>Comment

For strickly straight line traction, what would benifit more:
tubular LCAs with poly/poly
tublar LCAs with poly/rubber
1LE with harder rubber
stock LCA with poly/poly
Money is an issue, I'm looking for the most cost efficient way to solve this. I'm trying to get rid of my wheel hop and traction issues.

None, boxed Hotchkis LCA with poly/poly.
Or the SLP reinforced stock LCA with ES poly bushings.
I have NEVER recommended the use of welded tubular LCA.
