What Brand LCA's?

The car is not raced.The car is driven and shown at cruise nights and local car shows.I thought new RED rear LCA's would be be a nice touch.Just don't know what brand.I know Trac Tec cost the least.

I recently bought some LCA and relo brackets from J&M (supporting vendor). Decent price, and parts fit well. I don't know if they really make much of a difference from brand to brand. Popular names commonly used are Spohn, BMR, Global West...to name a few.

You might get feedback from the board on what type (boxed, tubular) and what ends (poly, rubber, spherical) to get. That might be more useful info then just the brand name. Looks like your use is for show and daily driving, so tubular with fixed polyends should suffice.

+1 for the J&M. The poly ball LCA's are really nice, and they come in red to boot! I also bought a new J&M panhard bar while I was at it. Much better than stock and priced well. Plus Brian answers questions very promptly, top notch customer service.

+1 for the Lakewoods. They did help with the traction. But they are basically all the same. The sperical bushings are a new thing though.

Everything I have suspension wise is from Spohn. They are great quality parts and come at a reasonable cost.

I have used different Variations of suspension from UMI, Spohn, BMR, and J&M....so far I have been problem free with all of them. All have been high quality parts and reasonable prices.
