Thinking about installing LCA,s but because there are so many different designs, I would like everyones experiances and opinions with the LCA's that they have installed. I'm not going for bling and I don't really care what they look like, I just want the best performance at a reasonable price.

Go with Metco along with relocation bracket kits. Costs a lot, but corrects the angle of the control arm.

I have CHE products on my car and am very happy with them. I currently have the adjustable arms, anti-squat brackets, adjustable panard bar and drive shaft safety loop on my car. I looked at all the products available and think the CHE are the best bang for the buck. Is your car lowered? If it is not and you don’t plan on lowering it in the future you will not need adjustable arms. If it is, or you plan on lowering it, I would get the adjustable arms and anti-squat brackets.

My car is lowered with a complete Roush suspension swap. I have not installed an adjustable panhard bar, as lowering the car only a inch or so did not shift the rear end over enough to worry about. I measured the wheels form the outer wheel wells before and after the car was lowered and could not see any amount of offset change form stock. I am having bad wheel hope problems that I would like to cure, not so much for improving drag racing times, but more for keeping my car from being violently pounded about (espesially wet conditions) when traction is broken.

My car is an auto but with the CHE adjustable LCA and anti-squat brackets I have zero wheel hop. With my tune from Bamachips, 3.73 gears and Detroit true-track, I leave pretty hard but it’s just hook and go.

BMR: $130, no bling, no wheel hop either. I doubt you'll ever find LCA's built tougher. And yes, they have a relocation bracket if you feel you need one. Same price

Do yours creak? I'm getting mighty fed up with mine. I fit them and the car is whisper quiet and after a hard run of 40 odd miles, the creaking starts. I've pumped them with grease to no effect and tried removing them and replacing them but still they creak. It's starting to annoy me.
I just ordered BMR non adjustable lower control arms Thursday based on all the praise given to them on this board and others. I won't be installing them until I buy the upper, lowering springs, and panhard bar though. One thing a week is all I'm allowed, per the wife. 
lol.

Stangsuspension.com has them for 97.75 tubular no bling just a good product. I did do the bmr relocators & love it all. No more wheel hop.

I solved my problem to some extent. I didn't have them torqued up to 127lb/ft but I still get a little creak occasionally. Metco look good but given the choice again, I'd go BMR. I would recommend BMR on my experience with them on my last Z28.
