Edelbrock Lower Control Arms

My car is a 95 1LE, is there a difference in the regular z28 and the 1le's LCA?

if they are the same, are the edelbrock tubuler lower control arms worth $50?
i think they are part number EDEL-5204 from www.summitracing.com $200 at summit.

do the lca's have any effects on handling, acceleration... on a fairly stock z?

thanks in adv

If your gonna go get some LCA's... Go get some Spohn or BMR's. They run like 100 bucks. I just got some Spohn's.

They are more for acceleration off the line. It prevents wheel hop so you get a better hook up off the line. As far as handling, I've heard they actually impeded it a little by causing oversteering. It's a must if you have a lowered vehicle.

If its lowered you'd wanna get some relocation brackets also.

I've got the edelbrock boxed LCA's and they helped a ton with wheelhop. I bought them used for really cheap, and so far have loved them.

As far as the Edelbrock's go, you could get 2 sets of Lakewood's and still have change left. I like mine.
look at summit part number LAK-20140

Can't speak for the other brands. Lakewood has an adjustable panhard rod that is inexpensive too.
