Just installed RPI Lower control Arms
 
Wasnt hard to do at all, except for the crappy little jack i used. Other than that it was pretty simple and straight forward.
Just driving around I didnt notice much difference between the stock and RPI LCA's. I started to notice more when i accelerated hard in first or second. And off the line is fricking night and day. My tires are about to die so i was getting squeaking from them a lot under normal take off. Now even with some spirited take-offs its like i got drag slicks on there. Cant wait to replace the tires now!

Nice! Stock LCA allows so much sloppiness.
You notice any clunking over bumps or more drivetrain noise?

Only reason I ask is because I got J&M LCAs and noticed these things. I chalk it up to the stiffer bushings just transmitting the noise since everything is correct and torqued to spec.

I noticed clunking but not all the time just sometime or I have to hit a bump at the right angle, its a trade off though!

I have not noticed any clunking whatsoever actually. I was expecting Something. But all is quiet back there. I actually got to drive it home in wet conditions tonight and again its liek night and day. No slippage like there usually was. Best 100 bucks I've spent in a long time!
