GT500 LCA's

Hello Everyone...

For all you people out here on the East coast. How are you holding up with all the rain??? Well my question is this? Has any one tried or know anything about the LCA's that come stock on the GT500?? I wonder if that would be a nice upgrade for my 05 Gt or should I get some from lets say BMR?? ANy advice would be great. Thanks!!

BMR!! The GT500 LCAs are identically stock, but with some reinforcements plates, but the GT500 still has wheel hop.

Your better off getting some BMR ones.

I have the GT500 arms on mine. They are essentially identical to the stock arm except with slightly stiffer bushings. I noticed a small difference in hop.

The 07 GT uses the Gt500 arms from the factory according to Kevin.

For me, I do not like aftermarket control arms with polyurathane bushings or rod ends so the GT500 arms were my mini upgrade for 100 bucks. And the silver powdercoat is sort of nice.

Well, my septic system crapped out with the 5+ inches that we got. Yeah. I KNOW there's no way I'll get it to perk anytime soon so it's fingers crossed until about July...I'm glad I stocked up on mods because the rest of my money will be going in the ****er!

Jared at Lethal Performance. Just get the part number from the FRPP catalog and call them. 100 bucks plus UPS ground.

I agree with that. I'll probably get these as well.

To anyone installing these, if you want them to stay rust free. Hit the exposed portion of the bushing shells with some black rustoleum or zero-rust. Otherwise they will rust just like stock.

I just cleaned them then painted it with a brush.
