Founder Performance
I just ordered founders subframe connectors, lca's, and lca relication brackets... Changed my mind when I could get all that for less than a UMI 3 point sfc.... All those parts 249 to my door. Can't beat that. I will buy from them again at those prices.
God I love their prices!
I'm still on the fence for the LCA Relocation Brackets. I've asked about them, and I've always heard it's more for drag / lowered vehicles. Any truth to this? Can a street car at stock ride benefit? Or if I go the Bilstein / Strano route, I guess I might as well get them, for future use?

I saw no difference in cornering with/without the relo brackets. I also don't drive like an idiot around corners though. My LCAs were level or pointing up in the rear so they were a must for my car.

I have their rotojoint LCA's and they make no noise (knock on wood). They only increased ride harshness a bit, but it seems to be much less noticeable in warmer weather.
Keep the stock LCA and put in some 1LE solid bushings:

If you just drive around normal on the street you won't notice them, but they do hurt handling if you want to be competitive. Seriously if your car doesn't wheel hop then just save your money.

My own personal experience with poly bushings in an oval track application has been no binding with properly lubed and not-overtorqued bushings.

I have their STB and PHR, and say their quality is excellent. I do have both UMI and BMR prdoucts also, and have no complaints with those either.
Needless to say if foundersperformance makes a TA, or if UMI or BMR, etc have a sale thats when I'll order one

I Just received the lca/phb non adj package with lcarb's. Does anyone have pics on how these install? As the name suggests I'm a noob, and they didn't come with instructions. I'm looking at the lcarb's and I don't know which way is up or which side they go on. All the hardware came in 1 big bag for all the parts so I won't know if I'm missing anything till I stall them. As for the parts themselves, they are LEGIT! I understand what some people mean by the stickers lol they can be peeled off. I'm excited to install these but I doubt it'll be quick for me to do like other people have done it.
