Like the design. Not a huge fan of the copper color. How much did the cost?

You know, these arms, and a front camber plates that lower the front height (like GC?) would make an excellent setup on the cheap, using stock struts and springs.

You get front and rear camber adjustment, have lowered the car to get rid of the stock wheel gap, and have retained all the stock shock travel.

If I was working to a sub $1000 budget, I would do that.

You're right. But its no worse than any other lowering at the same height. The advantage of this setup, is you can have a ride height at say 40mm lower, but with the shock travel of a setup with 15mm lower. (Or what ever the figures work out to be)

But yes, you'll still have the effective UCA and LCA arm angles that then goven roll centre as any other setup at 40mm lower. Unless you've modified the UCA/LCA mount points that is.

I have these same PBM LCA's and I haven't had any issues as of yet. If anything, PBM usually has great customer service and back their products well.

(They're half the price of most LCA's anyway.)
