I just installed my MM LCA's on Saturday. I got the adjustable ones and I can say there is a huge improvement. I agree that it hooks much better. There is like no wheel hop at all when you hit it from a dig. I can say this is a great mod to have done. The car does feel much more stable and handles much better as well. I ordered all the poly bushings as well.
Man I have been seriosly debating control arms. I just don't ever seem to get wheelhop that is noticable that everyone else seems to. I am 100 percent sure they are all stock arms, but everyone talks like their axle was really hopping before doing control arms? I am just not conviced they are gonna do anything else but control wheelhop, and I don't seem to have a problem, so they arn't worth it????

Am I wrong that they only control wheelhop? Is there another advantage to em from a 1/4 mile standpoint??

Yeah, they are worth it man. I am able to take corners at a higher speed and I don't fishtail as much. They keep the car nice and straight when launching also. You won't be dissapointed with the results[sm=trust_me.gif]
