Default Lower Control Arms and Relocation Bracket Brands...

So my baby (12 GT) is doing some hopping since she was lowered and my buddy (the previous owner) and I think it could be the lower control arm not putting enough pressure on the tires. So I figure it's a good time to upgrade.

Anyone have any ideas on brands? I have been looking at steeda...

BMR makes a good product.

Steeda, Whiteline, and BMR are all solid options. You truly can't go wrong with any of them. You'll certainly see much better results than the stock control arms.

I also suggest replacing the Upper Control Arm as well. To retain the factory suspension geometry that was lost when the ride was lowered. This should help with the wheel hop, in addition to your LCA's. As well as provide the correct pinion angle for the driveshaft again.

Hope this helps! Hit me up if there's anything else I can do.

I am very happy with my J&M Lowers and Adjustable Upper. Just my .02. I chose to use the Whiteline Relocation bracket also.
