Do they do a lot to help fix wheel hop? Should I get both upper and lower? Will they fix my 60ft times and if so by how much? How much is installation for them?

Thanx ahead of time!

Hey Steel!
I got the upper&lower steeda arms. It stop my wheel hop, I can't answer your other question, because I have never ran my car at the track.

He's a shot of my LCA

I got them from blow-by-racing 325.00 for upper&lower.
They will still be worth it, if the price was 400.00!

how are the installations for the UCA and LCA's


My LCA install was easy. Used jack stands to raise the car and keep it at ride-height, removed rear wheels and parking brake cables (snap in & out), then direct swap out of LCA's (one at a time). Two bolts for each LCA, torqued to 130 ft.lbs.

No, I'm getting gear, t-lok and sub frame connectors installed too so while their back there, they might as well put these in too.
