How do lakewoods compare to others?

I was wondering how well the lakewood parts compare to other brands. In particular, the rear lcas and adj panhard bar.

I saw some good deals on them, cheaper than umi.

I was under my car and noticed that i could flex my lcas, torque arm, and phb by HAND!!!!, That is pathetic, no wonder I got some wheelhop. The stamped metal is terrible so I want to look into a little upgrade and these wont break the bank either.
btw, whats the best place to buy specific bushings in poly?

Stick with UMI, I think you can get complete PHB and LCA kit off there site for $165, is lakewood even that cheap? Also Byunspeed a sponsor here carries UMI.

yes UMI makes really nice peices of suspension, i have their panhard bar and reloc. brackets for my 12 bolt and they are very very nice. but i also have lakewood lca's on my car- had them for atleast 3 years no problems yet. only thing is they're not adjustable.

I have the Lakewood lca's on mine. They seem to work fine, but as the previous poster mentioned, they are not adjustable. I have not had any issues with wheel hop.
