Lakewood vs. spohn Lca's which are better for my needs??

I was looking at the lakewood and spohn Lca's. My car is a daily driver and and will be used mostly on the road. I can get the lakewood's for $95 shipped or the spohn Lca's for about $130 shipped, which would you recomend?

Almost any other design than the stock one is better. If price is a factor, go with the others, but always shop around. Keep an eye on the classifieds...I've seen Spohn, BMR, and Hotchkis LCAs go for under $100. I got my BMRs new for $90/pr shipped in a GP..

Yeah, definately look at classifed sections. I got my Spohn tubular non-adjustable CrMo LCAs for $80 locally.

They're nice and light, I'd almost want to play fetch with the dog if they weren't made out of metal... LOL.
