Well, I don't do any crazy autocross or tracking. I simply wanted something close to stock but adjustable, and SPC did that for me. They're really nice, inexpensive, and are not cheaply made. The adjustable features were perfect for what I needed when I lowered my car on coilovers.

If you are going to slam it get the Stance ones, they will help with lowering the rear of the car as well as have the camber adjustment you need. Don't forget a toe arm too if slamming the car. You will need that as well.

Do u hv the link for whiteline GB? I couldnt find it, TIA

I got the SPC as well.
I forgot which LCA brings back the geometry of the rear axles so they wont have much angle

I'm running the RacerX rear LCA and will install their front LCAs soon. No issues here with three track days so far.

However, SPC's seem pretty great thus far.

With SPC, how far can you drop before not being able to adjust?

How resilient are the SPL end links in salty Canadian winters?

RacerX with urethane for non track seems like a challenger to SPL as well! I don't track this baby yet but I love mine.
