    If you're concerned with nothing but straightline performance a good set of BMR LCAs (Rubber/Poly) will do you fine :D

    However, I believe from FirebirdGT's responses, the 1LE stampes steel stiffbushing LCAs would fix it just as well.

      I run hotchkis boxed trailing arms.
      Completely eliminated wheel hop when I had 410's
      BMR is good also, and cheaper :D

        I too recommend Hotchkis boxed for drag ( I also never recommend tubular LCA ), and 1LE for autocross/HP street.

          The hotchkis arms are very high quality but cost a good amount of money. I've so far never heard of a single problem in using a tubular LCA for drag race applications - but that does not mean they don't exist.

              I would rather spend the money, and ensure my safety than buy WELDED tubular LCA. As an engineer I believe them to be unsafe.
