    Default Aftermarket Lower Control Arms

    Do anyone here know what would be the best one to choose?
    Positive and negative feedback about both would be great!

    Links for reference:

    Kelway LCA;


    T3 LCA;


    SP-TEC LCA;


    NAGISA AUTO LCA;


    Yanack LCA;


    I know that there is Cusco too but can't seem to find it anywhere even tho it seems to be the best one out there!..

    Thanks for answers!

    Correct me if Im wrong, but Im pretty sure the Kelway ones are just modified stock control arms?

    Whereas the T3 ones are complete new units.

    Ive got no experience with either though, I made my adjustable control arms for a quarter of the price of either...

    the T3 has a double threaded design which is for a turnbuckle type arrangement. This is unless I am mistaken allows for double the adjustment and easier to do so.

    Kelway LCA are just stock ones modified, correct -

    Single adjustment is used for strength and as much as people think otherwise, you adjust them once or twice and then forget them.

    The T3 ones are literally twice the weight and in my opinion bulky and over engineered - control arms are supposed to bend when you smack a gutter....

    We use same quality rose joints, our slim line ball joints allow for tighter fitment of wheels and bigger RCA.

    I have been running them in my car for over 4 years/30,000kms and are as new.

    some very valid points there Dave. They have the moto if it's not broken tripple the thickness. Half of the weight is unsprung so it should be taken seriously.

    if your not fond of the extra weight of the T3 full fabbed LCA's and you have some DIY skill you have this option:
    Still have all the double adjustment bonus of the full fabbed arms,

    how about these?



    sp-tec make really good quality stuff, and for only $380 there also extremely good value. Going to run these on my car, cant say I’ve driven on them yet but the quality looks top notch.
