Rear Adj. Control Arms

Who out there is running with rear adjustable control arms? How do you like them? Are you glad you have them? How noisy are they?

I'm very intrigued by the benefits of them but I just don't know if the noise they make is worth it. Just like the warnings about the LWFW, my guess is they aren't that bad.

I would love to get some feedback and I'm guessing there are quite a few others that are curious as well.

Thanks!

Markski,

Do the control arms make noise? Rattle, clank or what not? However faint or not?

Im sure some do... just like anything else... I guess it depends what you get... just like some LWFWs( actually its the throw out bearing that makes the rattle not not the flywheel) and some do not.... its all relative...
I had mine done by Orbit Racing, a professional race team... and they installed my suspension as well.

I was just using the LWFW as an example. I actually have the LWFW. When cold it doesn't rattle at all. When pushed hard, it rattles up a storm, but it doesn't bother me at all, and if it does, I just push in the clutch. Completely worth it for the added performance.

Back to the main topic, I take it your control arms do not make any noise. Good to know. Thanks. It'll be interesting to get a broad concensus.
