Boxed LCA?

I'm thinking about boxing my lca and was wondering if there are any big benefits of the aftermarket pieces? Are they lighter or alot stiffer? The car is a basicly stock GTA that is getting alot of wheel hop. I have Tokico springs(1" drop) and matched shocks that I will be installing soon. And I also have Comp Eng sfc that i'll be installing next weak end.

If you box your arms, they will be stiff enought, but will end up a little heavyer than the aftermarket ones. Are you using poly bushings or stock rubber?

Re: Boxed LCA?

If wheel hop is your problem, get a set of LCA relocation brackets.

Right now the suspension is completely stock. As I mentioned, I do have SFCs and 1"drop springs and matching shocks that aren't installed yet.
