Default LCA's worth it?
Not sure if this really the right place, but I figured Id ask if other LT1 guys felt that Lower Control Arms were worth it? Im spying some UMIs right now, and Im already working on subframe connectors. What are your guys opinions?

I have the ones from LG. I liked them since they were light weight, in addition to being stronger than stock.

I've only heard compliments about them, plus they are pretty much needed if you lower your car. Or are pushing a lot of power.

I agree, if your car is lowered it is definitely a plus and you might need some relocation brackets if you have the car lowered more than 3/4". I say get some for no more than they cost.
