Front LCA options, not sure yet.

ok, my quest for information about the suspension is almost over for our race car, one of the last thing i want to find is what i will be using as far as LCA bushings.

i want a roll center correction kit so i thought i might go with the Whiteline since it also has a bumpsteer correction tie rod.



As far as bushing for the front, i have the choice of these


or the Perrin monoball which i really like for a race car.



for the rear, i can use a Whiteline 50$ bushing that would do the job.

All of these bring me around 450$ for front, that's fine. If my camber plates don't bring me enough camber though i am stuck with it.

But the other thing i was considering is the RacerX lower control arm that comes with more adjustment and can also do the roll center correction kit. This is 660$, the only thing it doesn't have is the bumpsteer correction



So what do you guys think? What should i go with? Is the 200$ more worth it? Is the bumpsteer correction kit too important to skip in the Whiteline offering? (can't beleive no one else makes those)

If you suggest seperate bushings instead of the whole arm, would you go Perrin monoball bushing or whiteline rubber bushing. Both add a little caster but i feel monoball might be superior.

thanks for any input.

i know it just seems impossible to get ahold of them, i'd rather do business with someone that can actually deliver it's product. Sent e-mails and never got any answer and people seem to have problems getting in touch with him. Don't want to take the chance. To bad because his product was interesting, really light.

If I recall correctly, Racer X Fab can make bumpsteerable tie rod ends, they just don't openly advertise them. Give em a ring to find out for sure

Sincerely,
