It's basically an adjustable spring perch on the control arm.

To the O.P. Steeda makes great quality merchandise. Ive never used the weight jacker CA's but I'm sure a quick google search might net some hits from other forums/people who have used them. Also if I recall at some point mm&ff mag did a tech article on them I read. Might look for that.

Think this was the article you were referring to

Perhaps!

yeah all my suspension bits so far are steeda and all there stuff has been amazing. I like these since they are a one piece design and seem like they should take a good amount of abuse. Thanks for the article i was looking through my stacks of magazines for that lol

I have them on my car. They are very nice quality parts that you would normally expect from Steeda. As for how much they helped traction wise, its hard to say. It does seem to grab quicker now then it did with the stock arms. By grab, I mean if its spinning it seems to catch traction quicker than it did before. It isn't a night and day difference though.

You can lower 1" and raise the car 2".

They sure are pretty too! I hated having to put them underneath the car, lol!

Well there ya go! Real world experience

are these suppose to help on the road course?

Yes, they will help on a road course. They make several different versions of these using various bushing combinations for different applications. The ones I have are more street friendly with the polyurethane bushings on each end.

Your old ones are on my Foxbody. Such a small world.

Lol, I remember Aaron telling me that they were going on a Foxbody! Just didn't know who's it was.

How well did they fit? Did you have to drill out the bolt holes on your chassis?

No

Yea, going from SN95 to a Fox no mods required. Going from a Fox to an SN95 though you have to modify. Like this on the Shocks too...
