what spohn lca type and material?

i'm ready to buy my lca's and i'm heading toward spohns adjustable spherical/poly combo. it this a good lca for a daily driver? i'm not concerned about road noise. (that's what stereos were made for) also i was reading another thread about mild steel vs. chromo, i wanted to get chromo but i read it's not good for a daily driver. is this true? thanks for the help.

i wouldn't say it's not good, but MS would be more than enough for your application and the ease of making a repair or modification if you wanted should out weight and weight savings you'd have with CM

Now Available: The ultimate in bullet-proof lightweight strength, 100% TIG welded chrome moly construction! Same as above, but constructed entirely from 4130 chrome moly tubing.

just looks like the crome moly is stronger and lighter, it dont think it has any play for a daily driver car, its the type of bushing used..

chrome moly really wont change the way the car feels or drives, but it is lighter and to a point its stronger per weight than mild steel.

however, it is far more brittle than mild steel, and thats why its generally not recommended for daily use. Over time it can develop cracks with constant punishment.
