Deciding on LCA's.

The quality on these are good. Parts are beefy and I have no reservations about the components used.



I plan to use the 'Buddy Club Recommendation' setting to gain 20mm more rear shock stroke.

Im interested in these as well. Can you give us a review once you've got them installed?

I didn't care too much for the slotted cam adjustment, but I wanted the SPCs because of cost and because it doesn't use heim joints. Do you guys have issues with noises with the rod-end style found on basically every aftermarket LCA?

My car is a daily driver first and foremost. I hate extra squeaks and noises.

I planned to use the money saved to get higher grade hardware after reading the reports of cheap materials. Again, noise was the most prevalent reason.

I ordered the SPCs two months ago... can't even return them if I wanted

One more thing before I forget - is there a problem with urethane as far as binding goes for LCAs? Unfortunately I'm the type of guy who tends to forget to inspect and maintain things like heim joints.

Nice!

I just ordered a set of the Buddy Club rear LCAs as well.

Has anyone run the front control arms? I don't think there's much need for it, but I was thinking of ordering them for aesthetics

Just to add in some test data on the SPC arms. We are running them on our Project BRZ which is street driven but mostly used for TT with NASA Northeast. Currently we are running the SPC arms with Eibach Prokit Springs on OEM struts. Tires are Continental Race Tires and we are turning some very fast times and putting them through their paces.

So far we haven't had any issues and the alignments haven't moved through several events.

We've installed a bunch of sets on clients cars as well and haven't seen any corrosion or issues with them although a good portion of those are street driven cars so I don't expect them to be an issue.

Also we have the utmost respect for the guys @CSGMike but we don't judge parts based on past experience on different model cars and I am not sure I saw if they actually used them on the BRZ/FRS or not and saw failures or slipping.

We will keep you guys updated as our testing continues. Hope this helps some folks "worried" about them.

I can confirm that the buddy Club rear lcas do slip, but I think I that would be universal to any arm that uses that type of joint. I'm thinking I'll toss some blue loctite on there when I get them to redo the rear alignment.
