Any recommendations on LCA's...M-5649-S or M-5649-R1?

That's what I have with 6-8 track days planned per year. The S is the 302S replacement part...Eric said:Rick,
Mostly street....occasional track. So the R1s?
Thanks

Between the LCA and panhard bar there is an increase in NHV but it's not annoying. I'm told the panhard bar causes the biggest increase in NHV. The LCA will reduce or eliminate axle hop when playing John Force.Eric said:Rick,
Any comments on NVH?
Thanks

JScheier said:Gary (Cloud9) and I both have the S arms. To say they are quiet would be a flat-out lie. However, it appears that 99% of the noise comes from when the arm rotates and hits the steel spacer sleeves. I'm gonna wrap this spacers in rubber and that should remove most of the noise until the bearings get loose.
This depends largely on which of our billet arms you go with. The billets with our 3-piece bushings are actually very quiet (almost as quiet as OEM) and greatly reduce deflection. They have a 3-piece bushing that has a harder inner bushing with the softer polyurethane bushings, this is what helps to prevent them from adding much NVH.jeepinocala said:I like the steeda billet ones but make sure you do know they are going to give you a louder/rougher ride. The stock ones have a rubber and it absorbes alot not to mention the top control arm has a huge rubber and it takes alot of the harmonic vibrations out of yur ride.

OP, let me know if I can help you with anything.
I have these very same ones on my boss and they make zero noise. I recommend them to anyone wanting to upgrade there LCA'sSTEVE@BBR said:Been running the STEEDA LCA's in my car since 2007 and NEVER heard a noise. If your hearing things, then grease them. I swapped to our LCA because of the billet design though. Noticed a huge difference as well.
Our LCA is a billet designed which uses a Poly Energy Suspension pre-greased lifetime warranty bushing.
retails for $189.99
