  • What LCA's?

    Ok my mods are listed at the bottom, but before i put the headers and rest of exhaust on my car used to take off pretty good without any wheel hop.. now after putting that and the new tires (Brigdestone Potenza's RE950 245/50R 16, i get quite a bit of wheel hop now. Whats some cheap LCA's that will get the job done and last a while?

                    The 1LE arms are around $100 if I remember right. They eliminated my wheel hop and have been good for 1.8 60' times. Don't need greasing. Corner well without binding.

                    If I was doing it again, I'd get the same thing. [img]smile.gif[/img]

                    (unless I went with rod-ended lca's, but that's probably overkill)

                      Same thing I'm running, best I've found for the price.

                      Keeps my tires planted on a 85 shot!

                          If you only race 1/4 mile and aren't worried about hard cornering I'd get boxed. From what I hear they both work about the same, but boxed is stronger and more for 1/4 mile.

                              I got my LCA's from UMI Performance for $95.00. They are the tubular style which came with grease fittings and polyurathane bushings. I've had them on for almost 2 months now I'm very happy with them. Had a binding issue at first but after I retightened all the bolts it seems to have gone away.
