I didn't even know they had them until I was thumbing through the Jeg's catalog one day, & no one's ever mentioned them on here before. Anyone have any experience with them? They're the only ones I've seen for a fourth gen.

 

Do a search for 'lakewood' in this forum.Results have been mixed.Some users have failure due to breakage and some users have success.

 

ive never had them on my car..but at one point i purchased them...right after i bought them i heard they tend to bind up under pressure, so i sold them and went w/ a different setup

 

Thanks, guys, I didn't realize anyone had ever tried them. Looks like the J&M poly-ball LCAs are the way to go for both traction and handling.

 

Man I cant believe they still make those things

 

I think there still trying to seel off overstock from when they were making them


Thats what our torque arms are for, but the bars have a different geometry which would try to lift the body at a different rate then the torque arm, probably not so good

 

i have had them on my car with the adjustable pan-rod for 6 years now and the are fine. I have a stick with 9 inch and beat on it, no probs.

 

The big dogs are pulling 1.2x 60-fts on nothing more than tubular LCA's and LCA relocation brackets from Spohn or BMR.

If you put enough HP to the Lakewoods, they put the suspension in bind, and something has to "give".... usually the welds on the Lakewoods.

 

Just go with a set of relocation brackets and control arms, it will be a much set-up then the traction bars. I run a UMI set-up and it is very nice.
