I have a pair on my 99 z and they work just fine plus the price is a little lower. Anything is better than the stock pressed metal!

I have had Lakewood LCAs and adjustable PHR on my car for years, nothing wrong with them at all.

They've been on my 85 for over 5 years with no complaints, especially the $70 price

Hello,

We also offer a very similar set-up for about the same price with our current sale we are running and we are a site sponsor

These are currently on sale for $89.99 a set until the end of the year- www.umiperformance.com/2015.aspx

If you have any questions please ask. Thanks!

i was running a set of lakewoods on my SS for 5 years now and never had a problem. i switched recently to a set of UMI adjustable lca because i want to AX the car next year and since the lakewoods come with poly bushing i decided to switch to the umi's even though in the 5 years that i had them i never experienced any sort of binding. i am going to reinstall the lakewood's on my dd TA though because i do have a good opinion of them.

I've only got about 600 miles on my Lakewoods. I'm loving them. They eliminated the wheelhop I was having during burnouts. But with the UMI price above, you really can't pass them up.
