I am replacing my LCA's with Maximum Motorsports Non-Adjustable and i just took off the old LCA and its not stock (the previous owner did not tell me he had done this). The old ones do not have a brand name on them, they are significantly lighter than the MM LCA's. Could someone tell me if these are good/bad LCA's or what brand they are? They dont have greaseable bushings on them.
Here are some pics of the passenger one.

Thanks!

Danny

They look like Steeda Aluminum LCA's to me......

And if they are, I don't see a reason to bother swapping them for non-adjustables.......

I agree, unless you switch to a weight jacker or an adjustable units the steeda will work just as good as the MM.

Wow, those look pretty damn close. Maybe try cleaning the old ones up and comparing them too.

Actually, the Steeda's will NOT work just as well as the MM's. The control arms you took off your car have hard urethane bushings on either end, which is not a good thing. MM's arms have a hard urethane bushing on one end, and a spherical bushing on the other. This prevents bind in the suspension.. saves your torque boxes and if you like your car to handle, your best not to use arms with double poly bushings!

OK Thanks! Just to clarify...I didnt kno that i had aftermarket arms on...i should have checked but i didnt. I was getting wheel hop at the track so i decided to get some LCA's so hopefully the MM's will help with that.

I will prolly jus sell the old ones.

Thanks again!
