Gears or Lower control arms

[baylor2010]

I have a 06 gt (auto) with a C&L intake and diablo programmer, im debating wether to get gears or lower control arms next. What have yall experienced?


thanx:SNSign:

Have you been to the track yet?

Do you have problems hooking the tires?

If no problems hooking, then maybe you would want gears for better e.t.
If you have problems hooking up, then maybe lca's and uca's at the same time.

Gears will get you a bigger gain.

Gears would be more fun, but they won't help you much in the way of e.t.'s if you can't get any traction. I vote for the control arms. You can have all the power in the world, but if you can't get it to the ground then it will do you no good.

I think im gonna go with lower control arms to stop wheel hop any ideas besides steeda ( I dont want to just buy their name because their big $$$$) that you have had experience with?

Wouldn't it be better (and cheaper) to get the Upper Control Arm over the Lower Control Arms because it'll stop wheel hop and allow you to set your pinion angle?

use the BMR UCAs. great quality.

as for the UCA, some people say it helps wheelhop, but some say it does not. many more people have had good luck with the LCAs.

Have heard many good things about BMR.

LCAs

I have both, gears and LCAs...I did the gears first, although I had bad wheel hop almost from day one. I ordered BMR lcas and they came in and i tore everything apart on my car needed for the installation only to find out that the bushings were too small amnit: So I returned them and purchased a set of motoblue billet lcas and they fit like a beauty, and absolutely NO wheel hop, I am very satisfied. So I guess to answer your question, go with the lcas first, they are easy to install, only takes about an hour, and are relatively affordable (if money is a factor), and my launches are MUCH better.
