Finally got all the parts to do a gear change from a 2.73 to 3.90 and overhaul the limited slip. I am looking now at improving traction and checking the different lower control arm alternatives (Lakewood, JEG's, Summit, FRPP, Steeda, etc).....if you have one installed, could you share the experience ?
Do they work ?....are they worth the bucks ?.... which type is better, adjustable or non-adjustable ?
Thanks |

I had a set of Ground Pounder upper and lower control arms. The LCAs helped keep my tires planted when I was at the track doing burnouts and eliminated wheel-hop. Non-adjustable ones will be fine unless you are going for a certain weight distribution in your front to rear loading, etc.

I have one mm component in my suspension...and that's my 4 way adjustable c/c plates. There are places that have just the same equal stuff, if not better...

maximum motorsports for lowers, or any sperical bushing lower control arm.... but only one company makes them that I know off... hmmmm..... or you can go with some others that have urathane bushings that give you inconsistent handling

when it comes to lower control arms... who mm's equal? Ive yet to see one thats even remotly close unless you are brainwashed to belive urathane bushings are fine.....
I belive pro-3i makes some with sperical bushings, but they got the design from mm when they split from them...
mm is not always better, they just have amazing quality, a very very good reputation, and .... make better parts than nearly anyone for most every item.
Just ask about a particular item and we can go from there, dont buy some "steeda" or what ever lowers cuz .... they suck compared to mm (on lowers)

Thanks for the information, looks like I'll have to take it to the max.......
Based on the long term plans, I need to go with the adjustable LCA's ($$$)  .
