Which Lower Controls Arms Are Better?
Ok well Im going to start working on the suspension of my car by getting lower control arms in to help but the power to the ground and stop some of the wheel hop. The car is my Daily Driver and I visit the track about once every 1 or 2 months. I am deciding between
CHE (http://www.cheperformance.com/cartge...162&cid=15)
BMR (http://www.stage3motorsports.com/pro...p;utm_campaign=)
The price doesnt matter because my local shop will get me either brand for $110.
Thanks in advance

yeah, i think i have heard that some people dont get a perfect fit with the BMR and have had install problems, but they went on easy as hell for me. I would def recommend them, it really made such a good difference, i used to get HORRIBLE wheel hop at the track, now i dont get any at all!
Good Luck!

I have the BMR. They've very nice quality and definitely eliminated wheel hop, but the bushings are a bit over-sized. You DEFINITELY do not want to grease them before putting them in. Rub grease all over the bushings and axle mounts before attempting install. I didn't have too much trouble with the axle housing mounts. But the relocation brackets must be just a tad smaller than the axle housing mounts, because they were a complete bear. If I did it over again, I would definitely sand about 1/32" off each side of the bushings to ease installation.

Also not on your list but the one that I have and really like is the J&M HotPart LCA. www.hotpart.com. I've been very happy with them - no noise and much tighter back end.

I like the Steedas too, only b/c it's spaceframe design allows you to route the Ebrake cable through it like the stock one. I had BMRs prior to my Steedas and that wire-tie-the-cable-to-the-LCA business lasted about 3 days before it snapped.
