Lakewood has been around a long time, and had some of their stuff on my old Fox body Mustang, and the wifes first Gen Camaro. Never had any problems with personal usage, but that was before the information resources of the internet...

The few F-bodies I've seen running them seem to wish they'd bought something else. I don't know if the arms were flexible or the bushings were just junk or what, but they had wheel hop issues with them, and it seemed uncharacteristic for a car with the power they had and even stock arms. It's only a sample of about 2 cars, but it's 0 for 2 based on cars I've seen. And, as I said, I don't know specifically what's wrong with the design (if anything).

I've got them on my car. They are of the boxed design so I doubt they are flexable. I don't know too much about the poly bushings, but they look to be on the same par as others. I've never had a problem with mine, but I've never thrown major HP at them either.....but I will soon . If they give me any problems I will go with UMI, if not they will stay

I've been running the LCA on my car for several years now with no problems.

I'd get a set from Ryan before I'd buy the lakewoods and if the price is the same or close, even better.
