Default Help me choose

For x-mas the wife is going to get a few goodies for the T/A. This is what I have come up with so far.

Springs - Hypercoil's
Shocks - SLP Bilstein's
Adj PHR - G2

Now I need help choosing LCA's and brackets. I had intended to use G2 LCA's, but I want to use bolt in brackets (G2's are welded). And due to some fitment issues, I do not want to mix'n match manufactures.

So... I like the look of Metco's LCA's. Are Metco's bracket's bolt in? Can someone explain to me pro's/con's between boxed and tubular if any.

Any other idea's?

TIA. Scott.

well there are no diffences from boxed and tube's so it is all in the look your going for, as far as a mixed match, that too is a name thing thier is not one co.. that makes the best in every part so i would look at the spec's and choose from that and not just one co name brand....

for profromance you cant go wrong with BMG..

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU OUT.

Thanks for your input... I wanted to keep the LCA's and brackets from the same folks, so I wouldn't have any fitment issues on install.

Anyone know if the Metco brackets that come with their LCA's are bolt in?
