IMO LCAs are overprescribed and generally not needed. Also nowhere near the level of engineering and testing (including millions and millions of miles of real-world street and track testing by we the customers) behind them vs. OEM. For probably 95% of these cars that are tracked, aftermarket LCAs are not much if any benefit and will almost certainly have a much shorter lifetime than stock.

I'm a structures engineer and IMO almost all aftermarket suspension offerings are a but suspect... When I needed to lengthen the lower front control arms on my 240Z I modified the factory arms myself rather than entrust my safety to adjustable aftermarket arms...
