they look kinda cheap.anyone running with these?my stock bushings took a dump and i want some replacement lca's.

 

I got a set of Spohn tubular LCA's with poly bushings for around $100. Can get them from one of the sponsors or Spohn directly.

 

I've used them on a couple of different cars. They arent bad for what they are. I had one set on a car that was in an accident, and the LR lower control arm bent up and inwards at a 45 degree angle and the panhard bent... but it ripped the perch off the rearend in the process. Pretty strong for what they are. Welds never gave me a problem. Just make sure you lube them right before you install them.

 

I have used them before....they are descent for the price

 

its a bone stock m6 z28 and for pretty much just street use.i just figured that if my stock bushing were shot than why spend $30 on bushing when i can get an overall better control arm and bushing for $60 more

 

Considering their closeness in price to the Spohn ones, I would personally opt for the ladder.

 

If you are using these for only street use I would suggest going with our poly-ball setup. The problem with the standard polyurethane control arm is the bushings will bind and decrease your cornering ability. I would suggest you read this article on what the control arm does and needs to do. Good luck on your decision and we are always happy to answer any technical questions you may have.

 

your product looks good but i needed these buy monday,and they i got them for $15 cheaper

 

The bottom line is the lakewoods will help your straight line traction but hurt your cornering.

 

I have had the Lakewoods on mine since 1998-99. They really helped the traction and are pretty damn solid. Good welds. Cant beat them for the money. I would buy them again. Like iroc said, just lube them before you install them or they will squeak. I also run their adj. PHR. another solid piece.

I've had the Lakewoods on 3 of my cars. I still have a set on my current car but I am using poly on the body side and rubber on the axle side.
