LCA's or Shocks?

I am gonna order my next mod for my car. I'm gonna do a suspension upgrade instead of my 1.7rr's. I was trying to decide if i should get BMR LCA's or Bilstein shocks. What do you guys think will make the most improvement to the ride/handleing and launching?

Wow, that's a wide price range. LCA's will give you better straight line traction. Shocks would be good for all around handling. My vote would be LCA's and SFC's. That would cost as much as shocks.

Well yeah i know that. Maybe i should of included something with the LCA's to equal out the price a little. I already have some SFC's.

I'd say go with LCAs over the shocks right now unless you really need them. You'll see more of a benefit and be happier with that decision IMO.

What do you want to do with the car? If you want better handling, get the shocks. If you want better dragstrip launches, get the LCAs (although I'd personally go with something other than BMR, and get a poly/rod combo unit).

Why don't you like BMR. I have had no problems out of my BMR products.

I've never used them myself, but you might try reading this thread:

Personally, I would rather buy an overengineered part and pay more than have something break while on the roadcourse. If you're buying just for street or mild dragstrip use, BMR is probably fine.

These are what I will be putting on my car:
