Pro3i LCA's...

[QU!CK]

I've decided to pick up a set of Pro3i's LCA's...

Anyone know if there's a noticable difference between the street and street/race LCA's?

I would go street race. spherical bearing is supposed to locate the axel better and produce less bind.

I have MM spherical drag arms. It was a very noticable difference.

Let us know if you have issues installing the sway bar. That seems to be the common concern with them but I think those were on 96-98s.

Reviving this old thread. Just ordered a set of the Pro3i upper and lower control arms based on all the reviews I've read from a search. I'll post up once I install them as far as any issues or nonissues.

I am glad someone is going to get them as I still havent done my suspension but I will HAVE to start doing it now since it is showing signs of wear and I will be doing a lot more highway driving to go ride my new (to me) quad at Croom ORP...woohoo

any update on how the LCA turned out?

i installed mine and had no problems. the sphereical end bearings are great and make it a real ease. the sway bar bolts up perfectly. the pro3 lca's street/ race version are identical to MM's. ive seen them both in person and i decided to save 60 bux and got with pro3. good quality, no fitment issues. hope that clears it up!

i have them on my 95 with no issues great product

cool...thanks for the added feedback

I'm in that stage of $$ burning a hole in my pocket and tossed as to what do I want to do next? more power (or at least prep for more) or suspension...hmmmmm

Finally put them on my coupe. Quality is good and ride quality seems very nice initially. Time will tell if any strange noises develope

Do they make the ride better?

They may look identical, but there is most likely a difference in parts used.

They are still a good buy though and hard to beat for the price, but not "identical."

Hard to say. At the same time the Pro3i LCAs went on, I got Eibach front and rear drag springs with airbag, Strange 10 way shocks/struts, Pro3i UCAs, front and rear 5 lug conversion with rear discs, new 8.8 with 31 splines, and new Weld Prostars 15x4/15x8.

I will say that after putting some miles on the suspension, the Pro3i do occasionally make some creaking noises, but that is about it so far.

I was told that with spherical bearing, it gets really noisy

Make sure to grease your poly bushings

Never noticed noise from my MM's, any sperical bearing that is bad will get noisy though

Pro3i's steel is thicker, dunno what else
