Weight Jacker Lower Control Arms?
are any of these control arms any good?
i want to use these with a set of eibach sport line 2 in drop springs, says i can lower it 1 in and raise it 2 in
so i can have a 3in drop, 2 in is not enough
and another reason is that i still want to be able to use slicks still.

I have those Steeda lca's with the 3 piece bushings on both ends. They're good enough to get me a 1.58 60' on et street radials. I bought mine lightly used for $250. I don't think I would spend $400 on them though.

Please do NOT drop your ride 3"
This is WAY to far for any kind of practicality and will create lousy geometry, bottoming out with very poor ride and handling. I recommend you stick with a 1.75" drop MAX out back and run lower proile tires if you want your car closer to the ground.
What are the ULTIMATE goals for your ride?

I won't say anything bad about GMS... since they are a sponsor. But I will say that I've owned GMS weightjackers in the past and without even clicking the Steeda link, I'd say go with Steeda. That's about the nicest way I can put it.

Not to highjack the thread, but figured I would throw this out for the OP.

Dont think I've ever seen anyone on here running these.

^ The above Jegs arms are HORRID for the twisty, but have no idea about how they would be on the 1/4. I think you would destroy your torque boxes over time running as a DD. Looks like they are designed with built-in relocation brackets so the arms now clamp around the axle tube and no longer use the OEM locatios on axle. I am sure this is to improve ones launch via upward angle of LCA, but I think it is kinda funky. As far as weight jackers go in general, I am just not a fan of them.
