What kind of wheel hop/spin you getting off the line ?

... The only down side to the PRO3i arms is that they are not offered with sperical bushings on both sides, which is really what you are looking for if you want hardcore lcas...

This quote is referring to the Pro3i "race" arms... and I agree with the above that spherical on both sides is ONLY for VERY hardcore applications. I would recommend that if these arms are for a daily driver, then do NOT get arms with spherical bushings on EITHER side. The Pro3i "street" arms are a good product well worth considering.

Anyone install the steeda aluminum lca's themself? How hard was the install, are there any how to's?

 

[Modular2v]

the install is easy....I did my own springs so i know i can do the lca's

i spin like a mad man off the line! and my car wants to wonder sideways every time i shift!

I was advised by Matt at Maximum Motorsports that if you plan on a power adder or putting a lot of power to the ground to go with lcas with spherical bushings on both sides. He said that the urethane bushings can't handle big power and with hard launches you will be looking for new lcas with spherical bushings on both ends very soon.

I run spherical on both sides for daily driver.. feel more of the road and its stiff, but low noise and overall ride quality is better

I wouldn't sway ANYONE from them personally

changing the lca's dont cause a cricket suspension do they? It is my daily driver so i want to maintain a decent ride

i am too going with the pro3i Street/Strip LCA's. Not a hardcore drag racer here but ANYTHING is better than stock. Just think of it that way.

 

[Modular2v]

thanks guys i just ordered the pro3s! i can always count of you guys for good responses. Thanks again

I had some LCA's with sphericals and ending ripping them out to increase ride quality. I am NOT AT ALL saying you are wrong, just that they provided more ride harshness than what I personally wanted in my daily driver.

Thanks for reporting this to everyone. People should take this advice. Its gonna be another saying on this forum soon.. Instead of "Don't fear the Gear," its gonna be "DON'T FEAR THE SPHERICALS!"

Then you need to get a set of good lower control arms and some sticky tires.

 

[twogts4us]

Keep in mind that while aluminum is, of course, lighter than steel, it also breaks, whereas steel will bend first. Unless you're willing to inspect them on a regular basis (like after every run), you might want to re-think aluminum control arms. Daily drivers really should be using steel.

I was thinking about getting the Steeda aluminum weight-jacker adjustable LCA's for my car, which is always a daily driver.

I was just planning on getting the 3 piece bushings, and not the spherical bearings.

Does anyone else suggest steel over aluminum LCA's for daily drivers???

 

[Bullitt03]

HPM Mega Bite JR's thats what i just bought

 

[Bullitt #3067]

Please RECONSIDER the Steeda Billet adjustable LCAs if you are pushing big power.

Yes, I had the steeda aluminums and my local shop wouldn't install them based on being aluminum.. They have had customers come in with broken steeda alum LCA's and replace them with steel MM's. YOU ONLY SAVE 1 POUND ON EACH SIDE WITH ALUMINUM. The MM's are the same weight as stock, 6 pounds. Get the MM's with spherical bearings on both sides. My stang is my only car/daily driver. They create more noise but most of it goes away after 2 weeks. Squeeking from the stock suspension in the rear is practically gone. Poly bushings wear out and will need to be replaced where as the spherical's can handle any power given to them and don't wear out. I barely have any noise from them and because of their strength, was able to remove the quad shocks completely without suffering ANY adverse effects. Don't fear the MM spherical's
