Can you remove the quad shocks with any aftermarket LCA's or just certain kinds?

I would love to go with some MM ca's but I couldn't justify paying so much more for something where i feel like my che's are almost as good, I dont like paying for names. and yeah the che's work for straight lines, turns, etc. they look very similar to the j&m's, I just was told the che's have a sort of hybrid bushing that's not straight polyeurethane, because i always hear straight poly bushings will not work well with our torque boxes.

^ One does not pay for names, but rather reputation!

dwt... what are your ULTIMATE goals here?

I am not a fan of poly/poly ended control arms of ANY manufacturer out back, but those in LCA's are not NEARLY as bad as UCA's. To what use will you be putting your car?

Jazzer my goals seem to be very similar to what ct has.

I will only track my car 1 or 2 times a season max if that, I just really drive my car as a toy, I play around here and there but im not really drag oriented I want LCA's that are a all around LCA that are good for straight line while not losing much on the turns and handling side

Save your money for other mods and go UPR Pro Series LCA's

These are well more than adequate for your needs and will work perfect for you. No need to go MM Extreme Duty, TeamZ or PA Racing, as you don't need that much arm. $170.00.... in stock.... can get a MF discount, if you PM Sharad and made in good ol' U.S.A.

I like the upr ones as well. As long as you don't mind a few more squeaks and rattles the pros are the best, spherical bushings are the only bushings you don't hear bad things about, other than being noisy anyways.

Over stock there really aren't any control arms on the market that you will loose handling over, the only negative control arms are ones with poly bushings on both ends as they will bind, other than that no control will hurt your handling over stock.

What makes the poly bushings bind over spherical or Polyurethane?
