if your current control arms are fine, is there a big incentive to upgrade?

not really. I assume your talking about the cusco aluminum one's? Only benifit that I see is weight.

and adjustability. &nbsp;gives you more range to adjust camber for better handling.

adjustable LCAs arent cheap. expect to pay 500-900 for them...probably near the 900 w/ shipping and all.
i want some so bad..maybe in august when i'm in japan i'll get some hmmm

edit: advantage, i think there are no more bushing, its pillowball, like the TC rods, so better response and maybe less comfortable ride as well. its a trade off. cant modify your car and expect it to feel like stock.

lol I didnt really think about which he was asking.... yeah the front LCAs are expensive I think the Cuscos are like 700. &nbsp;all pillow pall and stuff. &nbsp;when SPL parts comes back online they had some other companies like kazama and border.
