- Akel reacted to bnight's post in the thread Advice on setting up my car for gain confidence with Like.The Steeda Extended control arms have poleretan bushings in them at least that's my understanding they are different than stock. If you already had your LCA's done assuming it's Bearings (Uniballs) than that should be enough to tame it. Again I...

I'm Looking For Someone Fast & Knows The Mods Inside And Out with Like.Myself and my track buddy have run ours hard for 4 years on track with the normal DCT factory fill level.

🤔The host of this thread, bossdog, seems to have disappeared on us last December.We should probably try to keep this chart updated for others as a reference and maybe expand the sizes from 295 and 305 to include 315.
