Default LCA difference in ride

I do mostly stock driving and I'm ordering some Bilstein shocks and some BMR SFC's and I was wondering if I got some LCA's what sort of difference in ride quality is there going to be? I do not take it to the track that often and I don't want a ride thats too stiff that it feels like I can't drive it. I still want to turn it and feel the car through it. I hope that makes sense to someone..should I go with sway bars instead of LCA's?

I didn't notice any change in my 91 when I put in LCAs.

LCA's for straight line
Sway bars for turning
Shocks for a little of both

Thank you porksoda, what about a PHB if i still wanted to turn. Is that something that I need to look into or what?

with LCAS and RLBs i noticed no more squat.


PHB is a great mod. stops some body roll in the rear, but it keeps the rear end centered under the car during turns and straightline.

great thanks so front and rear sway bar and PHB any particular diameter for me? I know there are huge ones and then they're are small ones so which one would work well for just above stock driving?

PHB is only one size, you can get adjustable or non adjustable though. Also have a choice of different bushings or end links. Call up Sam Strano (sponsor on the board) and he will run you through a list of questions and help you decide what is best for what you do with the car so you enjoy it more.

I don't know what you consider stiff but the SFC will definently stiffen up your ride and make it a little more bumpy.
