A guy in my local fbody club has his stock phr and lca's laying around and is thinking of selling them. They're off an 02 SS so they're 1LE correct? or am I wrong there? Given the mods I have (not really much above stock) would doing just these 2 suspension mods be worth it? Also how hard is the install for these (length and difficulty)? I did a search and found that alot of people have been going with 1le but I couldn't find answers to these questions. I'm pretty ignorant about suspension so sorry if any of these are dumb, I'd appreciate any input though. :cool:

I personally find the stock PHR to be flimsy... I pushed on mine the other day and it flexed (not just bushing flex)... Makes me wonder.<hr></blockquote>
The PHR is strong where it needs to be, longitudinally between the bushings. You can twist it, or push it in the middle but the PHR never sees a load to its structure at those points under normal operating conditions - so they is not relevent.

Robert is right. On my old Formula Ford race car you could easily bend the tubular rear suspension arms with your hand. In fact I think a strong guy probably could have bent them in two. But they were mounted with rod ends and designed so that they _never_ saw any bending load, only compression/tension loads.
Oh yeah I agree with that, I just thought I'd point it out [img]smile.gif[/img] So long all it sees is compression/tension loads its fine. And shoot, its lighter weight and cheaper right? [img]smile.gif[/img]
