Which LCAs???
Which LCAs??? I decided to go with BMR tubular(is this a good choice). My other question is which bushings should i go with: Poly/rubber or poly/poly. It is a daily driver, and i occasionaly drag race, and never road race, i'm thinking poly/rubber, but need your expertees... Thanx!

Re: Which LCAs??? The BMR tubular LCA will work just fine or you could go to there boxed LCA, the poly/rubber bushings are a good choice, poly/poly is also a good choice.. you just need to make sure you keep them lubed.

Re: Which LCAs??? LG poly/rod LCAs are awesome. I only greased the poly side upon installation. Still no squeeks from either side. Not even the slightest noise. I didn't want poly on both sides due to the fact that I occasionally autox. Even rubber/poly will bind.

Re: Which LCAs??? there's no functional difference between boxed and tubular trailing arms (LCAs), but the bushings can give you trouble. Click here

Re: Which LCAs??? IMO the BMR poly/rubber LCA's do a good job for street duty and are very quiet. However, I'd recommend the G2 poly/rod LCA's if you're open to some extra road noise.
BTW, I've got a pair of red BMR poly/rubber LCA's for sale if anyone's interested - $50 plus shipping. They're in good shape with around 5000 miles on them.
