FRONT lower control arms.

I was just wondering about opinions on aftermarket LCAs. I see that there's not a lot of choices out there, just wondering if anyone has them and what they think? I've never trusted most OEM designs.

Robispec's also comes with bump steerable tie rod ends to further correct geometry upon extreme lowering

Our friends at SPL are developing arms and will be releasing some time in the future (no time table). This will be great for those without camber plates.

I think my patience won't be enough to wait that long. I was hoping to order in the next day or so.

What kind of camber adjustment range are you looking for? What suspension setup are you on right now? What type of driving will you be doing?

I'm sitting stock right now, I'm going to do a coilover setup with moderate to large drop. I haven't decided on coilovers yet because I'm not sure how much I'll actually be tracking the car. I am also going to be replacing/upgrading bushings where I can. This is why I'm considering aftermarket LCAs. Less bushings to buy haha

In short, I'm looking for the most adjustability and keeping in mind durability.
