Also when it comes to certain brands it seems like people just like to bandwagon bash certain stuff and 99% of the time hey never had a failure with the product or even have any expereince wth the products to even remarks regarding them.

Keith you only want a linelock so you can waste more tread on the street, admit it lol
because a 7 second car going straight has a lot less stress than a street car/autoX car.

Well i never plan on autocrossing my car, its a spirited street car that sees the drag strip. And i never knew they use linelocks for autocrossing I learned something new today.

Do you understand the power and stress all those components take when launching and coming down from a wheelstand?


Sounds more like a "my buddy's uncle's dad had a UPR antenna and it bent I'll never run their crap ever again"

yeah i do. its one movement though and although the car has more power it's a lot less stress. an army buddy got some UPR LCAs for his 95 GT and broke one getting on the highway. had another guy get them for his Fox and snapped both lowers on a road course. (i think one wentfirst causing the other to fail). the stuff is garbage.

Lets back up there a second, poly/poly ended control arms can snap like that REGARDLESS of brand, the double poly bushings are what cause the suspensiom bin and the extreme stress on the part and chasis. That was just a poor decision on suspension design not the brand.

even with poly/poly it shouldn't break getting on the highway. the fox had poly/spherical.

defending a company that makes junk is like saying "maybe Hitler was just joking"
