lower control arms

are one set of lca's as good as another or are steedas and Max motorsports worth the extra cash?

IMO, just by "boxing" the factory units works just as well. I've also heard of people running 1.3 60ft. times with stockers.
It all depends on who you ask. I think they would improve handling more than anything else.

My brother runs HPM lowers and stock uppers with new bushings. Gets 1.33 60 ft.s Not bad if you ask me.

I run both the upper and lower HPM, but have only got a best of a 1.67 so far, but have not got to try it much since I got the turbo on (Something about the car being tore apart every 3 weeks for the last 2 years keeps stopping me.....)

the best i can do is like 2.1but im not running tonsof power and my vert is heavy as hell, was thinking about the steeda lca's but not sure if they are going to knock the .2 that they clame off my 60 ft.

I have lakewood lower's, they seemed to make it handle a bit tighter, but my 60' did not change that i could notice, i might know when i get gears....
