Default LCA's boxed or tubular??

I have wheelhop that would compare only to driving during an earthquake and am going to try some relocation brackets and LCA's. So do I go for the boxed or tubular? poly/poly poly/rubber? adj. or non? If you have a particular brand you reccomend please list it, thanks.........

Well first we need to know what you want to do with the car:
1. SCCA Open track events, auto-x = LG motorsports Rod/Rod
2. Drag Racing = Spohn, or Madman
3. Street driving = any should work. Buy what your wallet dictates. It really won't matter much in this department. I would recommend the poly/rod for the street though. It seems like a good tradeoff.

It's too bad you just missed a good sale on Spohn LCA's
I bought the Poly/Rod for the same purposes as you. I purchased b/c of Spohn's reputation, sponsorship of the board, the fact that they're located in PA, and the fact that their components are found under the fastest NA LS1 in the country. (Mikey at Rapid Motorsports)

My advice, do a search. You'll turn up lots of opinions on these things. Buy what you think is right for the car. BMR is a great value by the way.
