Default Anyone running LG's mono-ball control arm kit on a C6/Z?

https://www.lgmotorsports.com/lg-mot...l-arm-kit.html

Is this the kit to go for, or are there even more refined options available these days?

Who has experience over multiple track days/years with these?

[For a dedicated C6Z track car.]

Werks has been running that kit for a while as well. Might want to shoot him a PM to point out the thread.

I have one of the old Phadt kits that I made quite a few changes to. Now that it's sorted out its one of the best handling mods you can do. You won't regret it.

Just out of curiousity, what kind of changes did you need to make?

Not looking forward to pulling all the control arms off again, but it sounds compelling...

We have several in service. Initial install is a little difficult, but once installed, very little problems. There were some updates along the way with the uppers/pins, for what its worth.

Yep, I've been running their kit on my car for 4 seasons without issue. We also have them on wifey's ZR1 track car and she has no complaints either. In the last year alone, we've installed the LG mono ***** on a dozen or more cars, all without issue. if you want to be able to dial your alignment and shock setups in, having a good (solid) bushing in the car is important.

I highly recommend them and encourage people to take the plunge to a mono ball instead of trying poly first, realizing it's crap and then installing mono ***** on the second go-around.
