Default LCA...worth it?

I plan on having some frrp 4.10 gears installed this summer in my auto.I know traction is going to be an issue with stock tires, so can anyone tell me a little bit about LCA's and maybe point me in the direction of a good set? oh yeah, and i do of course plan on getting wider tires. Im just not sure on what size or name brand's are goodforthe stock 17inchrims. Any advice?

I installed Spohn's adjustable lower control arms and adjustable panrod, they made a very noticeable difference in the way she handles hard launches. Definitely worth it!!

Look at Metco LCAs. Tires are limited for the 17s. Check www.tirerack.com.

Don't forget CHE. They are also very reputable for suspension parts. And their prices are pretty descent also.
DynoJoe has a members only sale going on at another site for CHE products. Nice pricing and free shipping.

Spohn and BMR are great and worth every penny. Discussed in detail by CrazyAl. Do a search on the author over the past year for Crazyal and you will find it there and what each part does and why and who is reputable!
