Hello thread.. how are you guys tonight? So I just wanna ask real quick while I see the Debate on these BEAUTIFUL Pieces OF Art..
Ahem.... So until I can get my hands on a set of these lovely GEMS... I was wanting to upgrade my Suspension and I ran across some information pertaining to 3rd Gen LCAs and Possibly the UCAs AS WELL being used on the 2nd Gen.. That they were bolt ons for the 3rds to 2nd gen and that the 3rd Gen was and upgrade to our platforms LCAs & UCAs with Tubular Construction like these that you have here. Just not as advanced on the customization as these but Tubular Design none the less..
My Question is can I use these from the 3rd Gen U's and L's and possibly the back as well or is there NO VALIDITY TO THIS?
Yes the 3G rear lowers and uppers are tubular, also same from the Galant aswel, while they are bolt on the lowers require you to use the Galant ARB and use the relevant drop links, which so means you need new ARB bushes since its bigger now,
Note i have found on these items are.
The uppers are slightly lighter but only a fraction, but they are stronger! They angle it up aswel so if your going really low it may or may not be an issue,
The lowers are also a tad lighter but flex abit more then the stock pressed units we have as stock, i found this out doing a basic weight press test so perhaps they are thinner walled hence the flexing, so in my thoughts OEM 2G lowers are stronger with less flex
