SuperPro LCA

Any opinions on these? Tried doing some searching but could only come up results for the bushings themselves which everyone seemed to agree that SuperPro was a good manufacturer.

I know the golden rule around here is "OEM or go home" but thought these seemed like a viable option.

Interesting.... They claim that these arms will correct CASTER, not sure how you'd do that with a lca. From what I've seen, caster correcting arms are uppers, not lowers. Not necessarily calling bs, but definitely peaked my curiosity. If they aren't an arm and a leg, may be worth trying if you're in the market....(and then I looked them up) $600 for the pair!? Well, OEM are about $330 a side depending on where you buy them. That's pretty close in price, and I can't find any reviews doing a quick search. I'd want customer feedback first before straying away from oem

So they do offer 2 different ones, one that is supposed to be for factory vehicles (TRC481 and then those for lifted ones, I did opt for the lifted set (TRC482).

I did order a set, just awaiting the shipping information. Was hoping I wouldn't be the guinea pig for this product but looks like there isn't too many people with this product currently.

Will definitely grab some pics as soon as I get them in to compare!

You can do it with lowers as well.

Can't wait to hear feedback. I know a lot of us could use more caster

Finally got the lower control arms!














Should hopefully get a chance to install these on Friday evening.

Right on! Let us know how it goes, and what your alignment specs are afterward.

How much you pay for these? I've seen them range for 750-800. Close to OEM but these bushings look a lot more durable.
I ordered a set of mevotech supreme LCAs. Hopefully they hold up long enough for me to swap out the bushings on my oem ones.

I was able to get these for $600 from an online retailer (I'd rather not name them since their service was the worst I've dealt with).

The bushings alone make me feel great about going with these, but like you said, only time will tell. There doesn't appear to be too many of these out there (based on reviews and Googling), at least in the U.S.

The one thing that would worry me with them is the noise and vibration from these bushings. They may be tougher yes, but will they sacrifice ride quality and noise?

That is a great question! I don't think I will be able to give a precise answer on that unfortunately. My vehicle does have 285k miles with the original LCA bushings, yikes! While I do have 5100s up front, my E-rated Ko2's certainly give a firmer ride already but if I get any type of "softness" after the change tonight, I will definitely let you know!

Plan on doing these this evening and hopefully get in on an alignment tomorrow.
