F Body control arm question - Lateral-g Forums

Hey guys. I am looking to pick up a set of control arms this week and I wanted some input. Since my Camaro will be 99% for the street, are tubular LCA's worth getting? I currently have Global West UCA's, Hotchkis lowering springs (front and back), front and rear sway bar kit, 14:1 steering box, global west solid body bushings and sub frame connectors.

Bottom line is that I am looking for a modern feel that performs well on the street, but I wasn't sure if the LCA's really added much to the mix for the money.

What do you think?

Nevermind. I called Marcus at SC&C and was elightened.

Could you enlighten us as to what he said? I also have speedtech uppers but stock lowers. Am I missing out big gains?

As I took it, aside from increased strength and ride height adjustability (on certain arms), the gains are small. Unless you are a hard core racer - which I am not, its better to put the money elsewhere for now.

Marcus is a really great guy and really cares about pointing people in the right direction. Definitely give him a call.

Thanks, that's what I needed to know. That $600 is going to a new steering box then.
