going to the track on stock tires and stock LCA's is a waste of time if you have a stick.. I couldnt get better than a 2.2 60' no matter what I did. So instead of beating around the bush I'm pretty much upgrading every piece of my stock suspension to BMR cause if you cant get a good 60' your just wasting your time dragracing..
Tires and rims will be next.. :)

What makes the aftermarket LCA's so much better?

They are adjustable long as u buy the relocation brackets, way better imo. The stockers are paperthin and flex anytime you floor it and they have rubber bushings that give too much. Poly bushings are the way to go for a street car.

Why would you need to adjust them if the problem is just that the stock ones are too thin and flex? Wouldn't using a stronger material fix both of those issues?

Because once you lower the car the geometry changes and makes traction nearly impossible. Having adjustable suspension allows you to get back the correct geometry.

Just got off the phone with Kelly at BMR. Recommends non adjustable LCAs and relocation brackets. Looks like I will be doing some shopping soon :).
