What LCAs should I buy?

I was looking at the BMRs. The tubular chromoly arms look nice and are $139. What do you guys think?

I like my BMR LCAs. If you don't mind spending the extra for 4130 they should be better. I would definitely go that way on a PHB. My mild steel BMR PHB can be made to flex fairly easily by pulliing on it.

Lakewoods are more than you're car will most likely ever need. Sure the chromeloy is nice (light) but I don't think you're saving that much weight anyways.. maybe 6 or 8 lbs and what difference does that make on (what I'm assuming) is a street car?

Like the BMR website states, if you're one of those people who wants the best everything for their car and has to go overkill then get some chromeloy tubulars.. if not then stick with the lakewoods.

I'd guess that the torque arm undergoes more loading on launch then the control arms... I think overkill would be better spent there.

IMO, with the money you save buying lakewoods you could pick up some spohn relocation brackets and have a real killer combo.
