Default Got a question 4 ya guys

Im going to be buying some lower control arms. Is it better to go with the billit or adj lower control arms. I have narrowed it down between these 3 but i dont know the difference between them. Which ones should i go with and why? I want the best one out of the 3. Thanks

you want adj if your going to lower

and the billit is considered overkill

if you don't care about NVH then get spherical/spherical

The sphericals tend to be a little more noisy. However, if it were me I'd go with 3.......oh wait since mine are getting replaced because of my recent accident I am going with 3. The billet are nice but the adjustables will be nice if you ever decide to lower the car.

the race lcas have spherical ends, which have less 'give'/absorption characteristicsthan urethane bushings and even less that stock bushings. 'race' LCA have the most control but will transmit moreNVH.

adjustables are good if you are lowering or if you are perhaps installing a one-piece DS (or both) where you need to correct the pinion angle. from what I understand most applications do not call for both lower adjustables and an upper adjustable, but it might make sense for you depending on what you want to achieve.

if you have moreHandlingquestions you should post in the Handling section, there are some very knowledgeable folks there who monitor that section closely (like Sam Strano). also yousome 'search'here in MF will yield you good results. Crazy Al has a must-read on suspension basics. another place to read up on this is the Support and FAQ/knowledge section on the steeda site.
