1LE LCA's

[Need2MoreCylinders]

From what I have read these are better than the BMR LCA's handling wise. I am looking for best of both worlds...something that will help with the handling and something that will help me with my launch. Are the 1LE's the way to go? GM parts direct has them for around $55, but do they come with the proper bolts or do I reuse the original ones?
Thanks

Have you read the Technical Database, suspension section for binding, and the 1LE section for the history of the 1LE Autocross Package?

I believe the 1LE is the best way to go.

Poly LCAs won't help you with handling. They will make it worse. Your choices are either 1LE or rod ends. Rod ends are loud and you have to replace them once they wear out. Go with 1LE unless you're hard core.

[Need2MoreCylinders]

convinced me to go with the 1LE lca's and get rid of the BMR's.

hey, how much time do you think 1LE LCA's will take off at the track compared to BMR polys/rubber?

[DominusEtDeusNatus]

None, they are identical when drag racing. It's cornering that 1LE are superior at.

what about the aftermarket ones with poly bushings?

You just asked the same question twice.

aren't the BMR's different from the 1LE's?

You have 2 choices w/the BMR LCA's: tubular or boxed, and you can get a few different bushing combo's w/them (poly/rubber, etc). The 1LE LCA is the same as the stock LCA, except for the bushings, which are harder than stock.

You asked about 1LEs compared to BMR.

Then you asked about 1LEs compared to poly LCAs.

BMR=poly

oh ok

[Need2MoreCylinders]

what kind of bushings do the 1LE's use?

[Fin]

Harder durometer rubber.
