LCA's which brand?
I'm probably going to put lower control arms on my 09 Bullitt. The only performance mod I've done is tunes. And I don't plan on doing any more for quite a while.
From your experiences what brand would you recommend? Are they worth the investment?
Do I need to think about upper control arm?

I have the Hot Part LCA's and recently added the adjustable HotPart UCA. The LCA's went on first and really tightened up the rear end. I am very happy with the Hot Part product.
My recommendation is to go with non adjustable LCA's and if you want adjustment capability then do the adjustable UCA so you only have one point of adjutment.

I also have the "hot part" or J&M LCAs. $110 shipped from a site sponsor is where I got them.

PM me, the BMR poly/rods are yours for 200 shipped. I could distinguish the noise from poly ends anywhere on my suspension and that along with the cammed and exhaust noise was growing thin.
Maybe if I had gone FI with no exhaust mods (what I maybe SHOULD have done) along with all poly-rodend suspension parts I'd be in heaven. But all the noise I cannot handle. So the BMR's are for sale.

I have the Steeda LCA's and have been happy with them. Steeda claims their bushings will stay quiet and don't require maintenance, so there are no grease fittings.
As far as ordering from Brenspeed, my recent experience is that orders are delivered slowly. I ordered a part on 7/5/09, had my credit card charged on 7/7/09 and haven't received anything. No answer to the e-mail I sent the other day, either. (If the part is backordered, then my card should not have been charged and I should have been notified.) Nice guy, I think, but if you want prompt delivery, then I'd go another route. I'm sure others have a different opinion, I'm just relaying my experience.
