Default What are the best lca's to run?

I seriously need help on my 60 foot. I'm only cutting 1.8's.(running Nittos too at 15-16 psi) It doesn't help that my track never preps the surface but still I'm spinning way too much .


What are your opinions and why? Is it worth to do a Spohn torque arm at this stage in the game. I'm only running 12.5's @ 108-109.

TIA

YES it is worth it to do a torque arm. IMO there will never be a such thing as TOOO many suspension parts.

I like the boxed BMR lca's but, the tubulars will be better than stock. Remember to get the reloc brackets. Madman also makes some bad *** lca's along with Spohn too.

I run Spohn Torque Arm/LCA's/Relocation Brackets and Wolfe Racecraft Drag Sway Bar.....I think it rocks. My buddy Jeff was cutting 1.37's with the exact same setup.

From what I hear Madman has some of the best LCA's around.

Those Madman lca's are way different than others I've seen. Almost 500 bucks for them. ouch!

Are adjustables needed if I'm going to have relo brackets?

Talk to a board member named BADZ I should be getting my LCA's from him sometime this week I'll post pics of them, they are damn good. I think Horse Power Engineering sells them on their page too.

seems like tubular are the way to go unless you are autocrossing then go with boxed.

I don't think you need an adjustable lcs, you should adjust with the relocation brackets.
Combine that with an adjustable torque arm and I think that's all you need.

Correct me if I'm wrong experts.

I might add Hal's later on to help out 60' foots
