Good lca's?

Im going to buy some lower control arms and was wondering what all I would need, and where I can buy some good ones online. Thanks.
and after reading a post on the same page im already on I found this post
http://web.camaross.com/forums/showthread.php?t=531888 Im thinking about getting these
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...130+4294839061 Are these good, and what else do I need to install these, I have stock ride height. Also are the more exspensive ones really make any difference?

The non-adjustable Spohn arms will run around the same. I would also replace the LCA mounting bolts while you are at it. I'm sure the old ones are going to be pretty rusted by now.

The relocation brackets are mainly for people who have lowered their car. It places the end of the LCA that is attached to the axle lower so it keeps the correct geometry as it did before you lowered it.

People have still posted some traction improvements with relocation brackets, even at stock ride height.

What are your plans with the car? There are many different control arms available that serve different purposes so to say a certain control arm is best for your needs is really mis-leading without knowing how you want your car to perform. A little more detail on your plans would be great. Example - do you want to go around corners, autocross, road race, drag race, or just an everyday street driving and just looking to improve something you currently don't like about the feel of the car?

I would not get the Lakewood arms, the Hotpart arms are better for handling and should be just as good for straight line

UMI's are about $100 and LCA brackets are well worth the money.. lowered or not.. They will run you about another $100 installed ($60 bracket $40 weld in install)
