Looking for good rear LCA's...

jonnyk · 11-26-2001, 05:43 PM

Soon after Christmas is over, I plan on buying a set of rear lower control arms. My car sees the strip occasionally, but handling is more important to me with my "spirited" street driving. I've been looking and like what I see with the WMS Xtrak Race arms. I'm looking to spend up to about $300US or so.
Should I be looking elsewhere? Global West? Maximum Motorsports? Griggs? Are any of the others a distinctly better product? WMS is nice because they are only about 2.5 hours away (and in Canada) so shipping won't hurt much. My car already has C springs, stiff struts/shocks, 17" wheels, tubular subframes, and swaybar endlinks. Thanks.

I prefer Grigg's or Maximum Motorsports suspension parts. Haven't had any experience with the MWS or Global West.

I personally have the Griggs pieces. These have spherical rod ends on one end, and _small_ poly (tight) bushing on the other, and have adjustable spring perch (nice to dial in that _exact_ lowered stance).

MANY more photos off my homepage.
