I spent the majority of my day yesterday grilling a race team on their suspension and they proved my theory right in regards to LCA's. BMR or Whiteline are the brands I would choose. I have Whiteline's LCA's on our 650HP GT, my Boss and our 800HP GT500 with zero issues and zero increased NVH. Both brands use a soft enough material to offer a little deflection but are hard enough to eliminate those typical issues found in street driving.
Thank you for the informational and prompt response . Since the GT500s (Assuming regular GTs the manufacturing process) are stamped steel, what are the Whiteline and BMRs manufacturing process for these pieces?
