Lower control arms Okay... Im finally ordering parts for my car
I just ordered LTs and ORY a week ago, a Findanza LS2 aluminum flywheel today and tomorrow ( as soon as someone responds) get my LS7 clutch kit and my lower control arms.
What kind of lower control arms should I get.
I dont want to put in anything over 200.
Is Spohn a good brand?
I normally take my car to the strip. So I want something that I can feel a big difference with.
Basically what lower control arms are good and not too pricey.
and will this eliminate a lot of wheel hop? and save my stock diff and driveshaft longer?

i just installed mine with the brackets
the only thing i could tell was a lot smoother burnout... the arms and brackets only really help when you launching at high RPMs and can dead hook
i am an unstalled A4 so i wouldnt know how they felt on hard launches yet... they guy that did put them on said they would help .1 with my 60 ft on hard launches
i got bmr tubular with bolt on brackets

I was looking at the Spohn adjustable lower control arems that are tubular and help eliminate wheel hop or some junk like that on Byunspeed.com they were $200 if I am not mistaken
I would recommend using a pair of standard non adjustable lower poly/poly control arms (part# TCA001) or if NVH is an issue with you we do offer a poly/rubber control arm (part# TCA002) that has shown no decrease in performance over the poly/poly combo. Just let me know if you have any other questions or concerns with our products

Something that you would feel a big difference would be double adjustable rod-ended components. We've got a special that we have running and meets your budget at under 200.00. www.sjmmanufacturing.com/deals.html

I'm in the same dilema as you but after LOTS of reading, will most likely be getting the SJM rod/rod LCA/PHB kit which comes w/upgraded bolts for just over $300. I'm just going to coat it myself; not worried about powder coating. Now to decide which to get first, LCA/PHB or LT's and Y. Already got the motor and tranny mounts waiting for install (needed) so I might to the latter first.
