Hey man I plan on getting Lower Control Arms on my cobra here in a week or so....did you take off your quad shocks when you installed the control arms? If so how did you do it and how hard is it ?

LCA's made my car feel a lot more planted while launching on the street. I haven't gotten to use them at the track yet but I hope they also help me on the 1-2 shift and keeping the rear down.

I didn't disconnect my quad shocks for LCA's.
