I want to put on some billet lower control arms but want to know, everyone has them but same the same thing and make the same claims the only difference in them is the price and what a difference it is. Does it matter who makes them? Should I go with the $200 motoblues or the $400steedas?

Lost and control armless, please help.

They all do pretty much the same thing. A BMR LCA will do exactly the same job but looks like a piece of painted steel. the billet arms look better but who sees them? I've got Metco on mine. Even then, they're not gonna make you think WOW! they're worth that much more than the stock arms although they clearly work better in extremis. At the end of the day, it's a piece of rigid metal with poly bushes either end.

We have BBR billet LCA's on the '05 and love them. I know everyone hates BBR, but they were good quality and look great. We got the red powder coated, and contrary to the previous thread, can most definitely be seen. People point them out all the time. But aside from looking good, they really helped eliminate wheel hop.

isnt motoblue the generic brand for RPM outlet. are they available anywhere else? if not, i would skip them. RPM is the only place that I have seen them. i am sure you have read all the horror stories about RPM outlet, so buyer beware.

sorry, cant comment on which are better, i have tubular arms.

I have the BMR LCAs (not the billet version) and they work great. There were only 134.95 at brenspeed!
