    Why do you want to "redo" your whole suspension? For street, drag strip, AX, RR, what?

    You need to assess that before you go and plop $400 + on a set of FLCAs.

    Looks like those have solid sphericals for bushings and come with a balljoint.

      odds are the ride quality would change to a harsher, stiffer ride. This would increase your cornering and let you feel the road better but your *** might not like it.

        Mods, this is not a sales pitch, just providing info

        BirdOnFire, My company sells Spohn Suspension. These Lower control arms dont use bushings. They use Hiem Joints, better known as "Rod Ends" to attach. This is a more positive form of attachment, but will make for a harsher ride as there is no cushioning effect, as in a bushing, between the arms and the K member. They do come with ball joints, and attachment points for the Strut and Sway bar.

        As far as a stiffer ride, not in the form you would think. The component itself is stiffer than the factory stamped steel piece, but it wont make the ride stiffer, just less defelction under load. The way it was worded above by T-Punk almost made it sound like a stiffer in the form of up and down or a higher spring rate type "stiff".

        IF you have any further questions feel free to e-mail me at mleviner@precisionspeedonline.net.

        GL with your purchase, and if you order from F body, ask for Jay. Hes a super nice guy and awesome to deal with!

          Looking to "redo" my whole suspension, for the street, im trying to have the best ride quality i can possibly get for my car, but it seems like the spohn controle arms are more for racing purposes. Thanks for the info. Also sorry i dont have a dictionary or spell check when i type wicked V6.
