Dealerships would be hard pressed to void a warranty or determine the cause of an issue was due to using aftermarket LCA's.
Also, the GT500 LCA's are still stamped steel with rubber bushings. Deflection isn't necessarily bad in a suspension but too much is.
I spent the majority of my day yesterday grilling a race team on their suspension and they proved my theory right in regards to LCA's. BMR or Whiteline are the brands I would choose. I have Whiteline's LCA's on our 650HP GT, my Boss and our 800HP GT500 with zero issues and zero increased NVH. Both brands use a soft enough material to offer a little deflection but are hard enough to eliminate those typical issues found in street driving.

Thank you for the informational and prompt response . Since the GT500s (Assuming regular GTs the manufacturing process) are stamped steel, what are the Whiteline and BMRs manufacturing process for these pieces?

Tubular steel with penetration welds at each joint. I don't know if they are full penetration or not, though.
