Lakewood Lower Control Arms
Lakewood Lower Control Arms
Has anyone ever used these?
Any good?
They're cheap as hell, should I just spend the extra money and go with Hotchkiss?

It depends on what you are doing with the car. They are more appropriate for the street than Spohn, which are better for serious race-only use.
I have the Lakewoods and Steve's street torque arm and LCA relocation brackets. Awesome combo for launching, without the bone-jarring ride that the rod-end parts give.

i am wondering i have a set of lakewood control arms not installed but the purpose of all the aftermarket control arms is strength and to reduce flexing so how is there a difference in how good they work between companies when all companies are either tube type or box type and all use poly bushings and grease fittings and the lakewood control arms look pretty beefy to me and why spend 150 when lakewood arm only 80 i don't see how there is that much if any difference
