Lower control arm question

how much will a set of lower comtrol arms help my car in the 1/4 mile if at all?

I have a 2000 Z28 A4 it did 13.303@106 MPH with 60ft times in the 2.0-2.1 range


Thanks, jason

Thumbs up Re: Lower control arm question

Spohn tube type rear LCA's are the best in my opinion.

Re: Lower control arm question

If the car was strictly focusing on drag strips and straight-line acceleration, wouldn't boxed LCA's be better?

I am not sure, just checking.

Most of the big name brands are all very similar to each other.

Why?

The quickest 4th Gen I've ever been in and under (8.60@160+) ran the Spohn tubulars with rod ends. If they can handle 1,325HP they ought to be good for most of us . I use the Spohn tubulars as well. I can't really see any advantage offered by the much heavier box-section arms.
