SVE weight jacker LCA's

[thorco3]

Anybody familiar with these? I just came across them this evening. Seems like a fair price for adjustable lower control arms. I've always planned on getting a set of MM lca's.

So, anybody have experience or head anything about these?

 

[SRT Handz]

MM or nothing

My neighbor has some on his foxbody... they seem fine as far as regular driving/crusing goes and they have good adjustability. Unless you AutoX they're probably good. This is all just from my experience riding in it though, I haven't driven it.

 

[thorco3]

Well, I guess I'll be able to give my input. I'm not usually one to buy somethign just because it's cheap, but already have a set on the way. I haven't auto-x'd in a couple years, car is just not set up for it. It would be some good abuse for them though... we'll see

I was about to ask the same thing. Let us know how they work out for you. They are 1/2 the price of MM's but is the quality that much less?

I plan on getting them with my tax return. MM is over priced.

MM is over priced.

quality and reliability isnt cheap my friend.

Amen Javi and Handz

I am impressed by MM's quality, but dang it, I still think they're overpriced. I'll probably end up buying from them anyways though.

 

[Javi]

OP, I highly recommend looking into MM LCA's.
Yes, they are a lot more than the SVE but the quality,functionality and realibility is way superior than just about of any LCA's out there.
You'll find out once you have the chance to literally admire the fine work.
Plus they stay behind their products at all the time,ive never heard of any complaining..

I have MM coilovers, RLCAs, Subframes and a Brace.

Trust me javi, I'm familiar with the MM stuff, my car was in their display at the NMRA nationals in BG a couple years back and I've got a few of their parts. I'm not hear to dispute which is the best. I'm willing to spend a few bucks on a cheaper set to see how they fair. Our economy thrives off competition, I'm just trying to do my part, haha.

 

[Slykin]

I think you'll be happy as long as you don't autoX. Tell us how it goes though!

 

[thorco3]

It would be a good torture test. Its been a while since I've done any auto-x but I've had some pretty nasty wheel hop on occasion. A little more concerned with straight lines though, and I wanted something adjustable for different tire setups.

 

[94 DropTop]

Mines going to be for a drag set up as well. You could always do rear coilovers so you can adjust height. Team z is the best for drag.

 

[thorco3]

nah, too expensive, I don't think I need that much adjustability anyways. I'm not a die hard racer or doing anything too competitive, no reason to go all out.

 

[duh09]

Any updates? They look practically identical to MM's units but loads cheaper. I'd like to hear some info about how they stack up to MM's. I'm all for buying nicer parts but $185 plus shipping is cheaper than most used adjustable MM's.

 

[thorco3]

Well, no time to mess with them yet, still in the spare room. I actually got them on sale, only gave 150 for them. They look nice, appear to have nice welds, grease zerks... don't have much else to report. They come with a decent set of instructions

 

[greenscobie86]

I'd like to know how they work out as well.

Looking to purchase a set in the spring to throw on for the summer season.

 

[thorco3]

Has anybody made a how-to on installing LCA's? if not I might take a few pics during the install and throw something together.

 

[mustang1]

I think I put up a how NOT TO a while ago with no pics but go ahead bc there might be one or two boneheads like me out there that dont have hours to waste on the install like I ended up doing. Touch a little on the quad shocks bc thats what this bonehead overlooked.
