[QUOTE="Dave5.0, post: 13173092, member: 135393"] Lots of misinformation in this thread. :rolling: If you do rear LCAs and UCA it will help traction in a HUGE way to eliminate (or 99% reduce) wheel hop and keep the rear more planted, but will do VERY little in helping the actual cornering ability of the car. If you want something that will be well suited for both but more on a handling side, do a good aftermarket damper/spring combo. Koni STR.T with Steeda Sport springs and GT500 strut mounts. The WEAKEST link in the stock suspension is the absolutely pitiful stock dampers and springs. They are valved like a floating saucer and the spring rates promote a ton of body roll. Get rid of those first! Once that is done, focus on either an adjustable Panhard bar (Love Freedom Racing with Spherical ends!) or if you can afford it a Watts Link. This helps center the rear axle with the car and allows the rear end to rotate properly and also promotes ridigidty and stiffness over bumps. If that isn't very important, the control arms route is a good way to go. The LCA relocation brackets really help with wheel hop AND the way your car exits a corner. Much more planted and neutral. HOWEVER, whatever you throw at it, if you plan on keeping the stock dampers and springs, DONT expect the car to handle very well. [/QUOTE]
