IVe been looking at the MM and Granatelli Weight Jacker LCA's for my car. I like the fact that you can adjust the rear ride height with the turn of a wrench.

But Im wondering if there are any negative effects by doing this?

Also I know MM makes nice stuff but the Granatelli arms are $180 cheaper and look identical. I really dont like to cheap out on things but if they will both do the job well Id get the cheaper ones.


Granatelli $199


Maximum Motorsports $379

I run a set of the MM LCAs that you have pictured above. I got them used for about $175 off of ebay and they have worked great for me. Personally I would go with the MM ones. I have no personal experience with the Granetelli's but I have seen several LONG threads about problems with their LCAs. I would do a search on both stangnet and corral and see what pops up before you make a decision.

Ive seen several different pics of the GMS LCA's and really no difference in description or price.

Some show the adjustable end on the chassis side and some arent adjustable at all except on the spring perch.

Id love to get the MM's just because the things Ive bought from them are top notch. Maybe ill check ebay.

After reading countless threads on Corral, Corner Carver and other forums Ive decided to not buy Granatelli anything.

Not only do their control arms not fit properly but they break/bend causing damage to the car they are installed on. Added to this, the User posting as the owner of Granatelli (GMS) did not seem helpfull at all to any questions posted by others. Only repeating that he doesnt copy other companies and that they "test" everything they make. People that have called GMS with questions about products have been met with varying and conflicting answers. There was even a customer that recieved a free GMS K Member to "test" , which proptly failed and broke. That customer called GMS about this and was told "it was a K Member another company sent us".

The pictures alone of broken GMS products is more than enough to keep me far away from them.
