so i have a chance to get one hell of a deal on hotchkis LCAs and PHB. its all new stuff too. my question is, is it worth it? i have the f41 suspention in my car now, would it be a worthwhile upgrade to run those LCAs and PHB?

Cardboard cutouts would be an improvement over the stock stuff. I just replaced both on my car. You could twist the panhard bar by hand and almost the same with the LCA's. So if you have a deal in front of you don't pass it up.

would recommend as well. the stock bushings by this time are probably pretty beat (unless they've been replaced already), new parts will definitely make a difference. is the PHB adjustable? good idea to go that route if you're lowering the car

Re: are they worth it...LCAs and PHB.
yes definetly. when i got my SS it had crappy tires + stock suspension which = a bad wheel hop. i replaced the LCAs and PHB and the wheel hop was gone 80% of the time.
