I can recommend Steeda parts ... but it looks like you are already trying to replace the LCAs ... can I ask you why you might make the change?

I have all steeda at the moment, lcas, LCA relos, adj uca and I feel like the car is very unbalanced. The car would fade one way or the other even during a simple burn out. Doesnt seem like the money I spent did much in the way of keeping the car straight. Add 400whp and the problems have only compounded.
With the money I've invested I'd like to see the car go in a straight line. If you have any ideas regarding my current setup I'm all ears, but I'm ready to just go a different direction with the results I've had

fwiw replacing parts you already have is a waste of money. You need to figure out what is causing the undesired movement. Send kelly @ bmr a PM. I'm sure he'll help you get dialed in with the steeda parts. It's going to turn out to be something stupid like something is adjusted incorrectly ( UCA, Viking shocks etc... ) You're gonna be pissed if you replace something and that doesn't solve the issue. I've been where you are.

What Srings are you currently running? I hope your not running relocation brackets with stock springs...
Check to make sure your rear housing is square after the LCA relocation brackets. Take the relo brackets off and see how it hooks. Control arms are control arms. Bushing style and quality are the only differences.

275/60/15 MT Pro's will solve your traction problems. (17 psi works well) front struts should be ran with LCA relocation brackets. I've seen 100% stock suspension go 1.35 60' with an auto

I should clarify that I currently have stock shocks and struts, the only parts I would be replacing would be lcas and brackets and the eibach "dub" springs that were on sale back in 2011.
The steeda lcas are welded in, so I can't really take them off until I'm going to really remove them. I do feel like the shop that installed them may not have the angle correct, but if they are going to come off to be adjusted I would rather replace them. We are not talking about a ton of money and I would rather have a piece of mind knowing everything is going to work as it should going forward.
