Lakewood LCA's?

Anyone tried these? They are like $95 at Summit. They must be better than stockers. Summit also has an adjustable PH rod for $115. Lakewood is a classic name so they should be good, right. Any thoughts are appreciated before I get busy stimulating the economy with my tax return! Thanks!

Yes, I have them. They work fine.

Don't have the PHB, but I suspect it's OK too.

I've had them on my car, good piece for the money. I've also had their adjustable panhard bar and the two reasons I'd recommend something like Spohn is 1: having to take down the axle end with the lakewood to make adjustments and 2: you're stuck with 180 degree turns of the adjuster. With the Lakewood my rear axle was always a touch to the left or right so I swapped for the Spohn adjustable panhard bar and did the LCAs to have a matched set. Either of the LCAs should serve you well, I'd recommend getting the Spohn panhard bar instead of the Lakewood though.

Thanks Guys for the quick replies! I'll check Spohns website later for the PH. I'm rebuilding my rear diff when the weather breaks and love bolting on shiny new bits! Thanks again.
