I installed them on my car. I couldn't tell any difference from the OE GT LCA's. The bushings on the GT and GT500 LCA's have identical numbers and markings on them as well. I put them back on my car after I tried to sell them and had no success. I read other post that others write that they lessoned wheel hop, maybe I was just expecting too much.

You might also want to consider LCAs from BMR. I have the adj. combo LCA and couldn't be happier. Make sure you pick up relocation brackets as well.

I do believe that the relocation brackets are what makes the difference if you are lowered. The GT500 units might be great with some relocation brackets.

Wow, that's pretty disappointing. I would expect some sort of change. Add the fact that the bushings are the same and you have basically nothing.

I was impressed that they were for the GT500 and were a fair price. I guess you get what you pay for.

Don't give up yet. I see that you are lowered. I would consider relocation brackets.

Not quite sure I want to install the relocation brackets. My goal is to tighten up the rear for spirited street driving. I don't think I'll ever see the strip.

I just went to Gingerman raceway, and I have the relocation brackets. I can tell you this, its not only the strip that benefits from the brackets.

My tires were planted to the ground all the time.

I put the GT500 lca's on my car and definitely have lost the wheel hop. I also noticed the bushings have the same molded # in them, but like I said, the wheel hop is gone. That may well depend on tire brand and type too. I'll be putting new rears on soon. I also have Steeda relocation brackets yet to weld on.
