I have SPL and it's just about perfect, Velox looks to be pretty sweet too.

I would ask that question here:

The guys that can really help don't always hang out in the General section (not that they can't help here you will just get more info there).

I'm currently on RacerX LCAs but just received a set made by Velox. I believe they still have some available:

Get adjustable LCA. If you don't you may end up buying them later, just spend the money now. I have Stance LCAs. They give you a drop out of the box so if you don't have coils, don't get them. Quality is good though

Is this a serious question?

You want to go from a non-adjustable, stock arm, to a non-adjustable, aftermarket arm that offers zero benefits from what you have now?

Please tell me you made a typo somewhere.

I would expect it to be lighter and have unsprung weight benefits. But I see the point you're trying to make.

For the cost, the 2lbs you'd save isn't worth it. But even if you don't think you'll ever use the adjustability, it's best to spend the extra $50 to get it. I got not adjustable trailing arms... a year and an extra 300$ later I now have adjustable ones. Do it right the first time

megan racing is not a suspension part you should put on your car imo
