I am in the market for some lower control arms to eliminate my wheel hop. I found some J&M ones for $114.55, wondering if anyone has ever tried these? I also found some from Massive and UMI perfomance. Just wondering if anyone has ever tried any of these, I found them all on ebay. Thanks.

 

The UMI stuff is good, Sam Strano sells it.

I went with the Chrome Molly double adjustable poly/rod Spohn LCA.

They are awesome and quiet with proper maintanence, ie greasing.

 

The J&M arms are top notch! I have the extreme joint ones that sell for $174 and I can't fault them one bit. They ride better than stock!

I would not hesitate to buy the poly ball arms, but if you want a little less wheel hop, then get the extreme joint ones. I have not noticed any more road noise over the stock arms.

If you are lower, get relocation brackets.

 

I decided to go with the j&m extreme joint ones. Hope they will improve my launches and eliminate that wheel hop. Thanks!

 

Take a look at Metcos. They are a little more expensive, but worth it.

 

Are these things pretty easy to install? Do I have to grease them first or are they good to go? I purchased the j&m ones. Is installation just as simple as removing the old ones and putting the new ones in? Can I let the rear end hang loose or do I have to hold it up with jack stands. Thanks.

 

Are those still good for handling as well? These are my next purchase, just picked up a Steeda UCA for a good deal

 

i have metco UCA and LCA's in the mail...american made and nothing but great reviews...ill give u my own when the salt goes away

 

I just ordered the J&M Extremes as well for my '06. I've been researching LCAs for a long time and many have had squeak/noise problems, however, these looked interesting. Once I receive and install them I'll post an evaluation as well
