Default LCA's

Will LCA's only be an effective mod for a car that drag races alot? I do drag race a bit maybe once or twice a month but I don't want something that will only benefit me in a straight line. My car is a daily and well I'd like to go around corners just as well as my car plants the tires.

he's correct!
they help keep the rear end from moving side to side as well as keeping wheel hop down. they are a good cheap mod for both reasons.

The bushings alone make it worth while... You definately feel tighter going around a corner

plus the fact that they are boxed means they wont flex and gives even better positive feel. look on ebay or boards for good used ones. ALso UPR makes nice ones and they are cheap. Alot of FFW love them.

I have lakewood lowers and steeda heavy duty uppers on mine. Works well at the track and keeps the rear solid on the street. Also i wouldnt recomend to hardcore of uppers as they have found out some bind is good on the uppers (accoring to steeda and some other places). Plus you cna tbeat the $99 steeda heavy duty uppers.

I only recomment Maximum Motorsports but those listed above are usually pretty serviceable. They'll definitely help handling on a day-to-day basis. Wether or not you've gotten to the point that you'll notice the change is for you to discover.

Poly bushings at the front, spherical in back gives great articulation and no bind. dual poly bushings bind up a bit since the arms are triangulated.
