Which trailing arms are best for the $$

I think my first winter project after the t56 swap will be lower trailing arms. I was thinking edelbrock...but id like to hear what you guys have and how you like them. Im interested to hear how the coating has held up also.

Check out SPOHN PERFORMANCE web site. Their products are hard to beat. I am using their rear LCA's, Panhard Bar and soon to be installed SFC's.

I second that. Great quality, very competitive prices.

Spohn, Spohn, and Spohn are the 3 companies I recommend for 3rd gen suspension.

Hotchkis and Edelbrock has very good products, but over priced. BMR is very good as well. Both Hotchkis and Edelbrock, your mostly paying for the name.

Thanks guys. I will be doing the sfc's soon too, so I think I'll look into SPOHN and BMR.

If you'd like, feel free to e-mail me...I can set you up with fully adjustable tubular stuff with heim joints. PHR as well as LCAs...for less than BMR and Spohn.

It probably sounds weird, but try me. Heh...

The edelbrock rear lca's made a world of difference on my 'vert.
Now of course I have not tried anything else - but Spohn always get thumbs up from people in the thirdgen community, so Im sure they are great as well!

I can vouge for Eric. I am in his car club and those LCA's and Panhard rod that he is talking about are quality pieces of work. I would own them now if I had the money. But once I get a little extra I am going to be buying a set. They are very reasonable for price as well.

If you don't mind spending twice as much as you need to, go ahead and buy any of those listed above.

If you don't have a money tree growing in the backyard, go with Lakewood. Costs half as much as the others. You will never be able to tell the performance difference between them and any other set. They come powdercoated too. $75 is what I paid for mine.
