After doing some research, I've decided to go with the Maximum Motorsports Coil over kit. However, I am undecided on which lower control arm to go with. Should I get the standard LCA or should I get the super duty LCA (ones with the spherical bearings at both ends). Also, has anyone been successful at getting a lower price for these kits? In addition to the purchasing the kit, I plan to purchase the LCA, replacement bushings for the UCA, wheel spacers and some other items.

Thanks

I would go with the standard duty RLCAs. I also would skip the bushings for the upper control arms and get a panhard rod.

If I'm not mistaken, the panhard rod mount also doubles as a coil-over mount on one side of the car. Otherwise, I think you have to buy the mount separately. Don't quote me on that, but you might want to look into it.

Finally, it seems like now would be a good time to put some '03 cobra front control arms on since they only cost $200.

It's easy spending other people's money.

Why '03 cobra front control arms?
