Default Tubular or Billet LCA'a

Which do you all prefer? I'm not going to lower my car so I do not need adjustable lca's. The billet lca's look more expensive. Are they worth it if you are going the non-adjustable route?

Also, are there any benefits to lca relocation brackets on a non-lowered, street car?

Don't waste your money on the billett LCA's unless you care about shiney aluminum. Save yourself some bucks and get the regualr old BMR or CHE's and you will be veryhappy. Then use themoney you savedto get a panhard rod and brace or sway bar...orall three.

I've done those exact mods and thedifference in the handling and hook up is amazing.

Unless your hardcore about shaving weight don't get billet.I have the $135 BMR's and they
are still lighter than the factory lca's.+ no more wheel hop !!!!

Also, the Billet are prone to cracking with high output/supercharged motors, so Steeda does not recommend the Billet's for those pushing 500 HP.

I ordered BMR tubular and got BMR billet for the same price because supplier was out of stock on tubular. I'm glad I got them. They look bad-*** and are much lighter than stock.

For the DD they wont provide much advantage but if you race alot they will help at the track even if you are not lowered.
