I am going to be ordering the maximum motorsports starter box which includes bilstein struts and shocks, H&R race springs, spring isolators, pinion snubber, and CC plates. I was thinking about ordering LCA's also. My question is, are the LCA's worth the extra cost? Will they ne noticeable for handleing or is it more of a traction upgrade?

Thanks

Also to anybody that really knows, will this upgrade make as big of a difference as I am hoping for?

the LCAs are more for a traction upgrade... however the traction is for strait line and grip around the corner. there is a reason road race cars have new LCAs... personaly i'd go with the steeda steel LCAs as they are the cheapest with a good bushing.

my bilsteins and HR race springs with isolators are going on tonight and tomorrow morning (depending on how long it takes

I'm getting the LCAs in a month or so, then getting either the evo watts link or MM pan hard.

of course it's worth it, and you will feel a difference.

I just got the MM Sport Box (with Bilstiens in place of the Tokicos) and their lower control arms. I had to install the parts in stages due to time constraints. I put the shock and springs on the car in the first stage. When I added the panhard bar it made a HUGE difference. I notice a difference when I added the LCAs but not as much as the bar. I think I would go with the Panhard bar over the LCAs if I had to choose.
