I wanna purchase lower control arms for the rear of my 02 SS. Which ones should I go with? Any help will be greatly appreciated thanks.

 

It really depends on what you are doing with the car. Our two must popular LCAs are the non-adjustable with poly-urethane bushings (TCA001) and the adjustable with the poly-urethane bushings (MTCA002). Here are a couple pictures.

 

These..great quality stuff! http://www.umiperformance.com/catalo...roducts_id=392

 

Well the car with eventually have a 9" rear but for now it's the stock 10bolt but the car will only be used for car shows, cruising around on nice days and occasionally the strip. I would also like to put lowering springs on it to drop it a little.

 

I personally like single adjustable rod-ended LCAs with heim joint boots. I've had said LCA combos on two cars for at least a couple years and the road grime stays out, making for smooth operation and no clunking.

UMI oncar adjustables with rotojoint. After putting them on my car I dont think Id ever pick anything else

 

+1 If you can get roto-joints, do it. It's only a little bit more and much less prone to squeaking like the polys.

 

Thanks for the UMI mentions above, guys.

General cruising suits poly bushings well. When properly lubricated they're nice and quiet and provide adequate comfort.

Factory rear housings work great with non-adjustables. The non's require less maintenance as well. Aftermarket housings can benefit from adjustables in case the tolerances are out.

Lowering doesn't require any trailing arm changes per se but of course it's nice to have the improved bushings/Roto's/rod ends and more strength.

Thanks guys really do appreciate it.

 

I bought a set from Founder perf. I haven"t drove thousands of miles on them, but they don"t squeak r anything like that. Completely stopped wheel hop and I swear the car actually rides a little better. Maybe it just tightened up the rear of the car some. They are of the non-adj flavor. poly bushings on both ends. Super easy to install. I used synthetic grease in them. I think UMI also offers a rubber bushing option. Or maybe its BMR. cant remember for sure.

 

I have poly/roto joint adjustable on car lower control arms from umi and i love em. Ive did lots of wheelie stands and never brake or bend!

 

All of the the sponsers here have a great product and I am running Spohn LCA's with spherical rod ends in a primarily track car with very little street use. FYI, I would have not chosen these in a street car ..... they are very noisy and the fact I am running a spool probably attributes to the noise on slow speed turns, but they are also noisy on mildly rough roads. For bind-free performance though, they are the ones to have.

 

As far as I know we are the only company to offer a rubber bushing option for the rear lower control arms. The rubber bushings are for the people looking for better performance but unwilling to sacrifice any added NVH (noise,vibration, or harshness). Here are a couple picture of our rear lower control arms with the rubber bushing option.

 

I got founders non-adj with poly bushings. They don't squeak and I think they're a great budget peice.

 

I will be sure to remember its you guys with the rubber bushing option when I tell people in the future.

 

We definitely appreciate that. We do our best to accommodate everyone's needs by having plenty of options.

 

founders!!

 

im sure what ever you go with you will be happy with them over stock. i just put on UMI poly/roto single adj LCA's. stock suspension with 166k mi my car feels great now. along with the same style PHB. Night and day difference.
