When you de-arch a leaf, you lose travel, need to keep that in mind.

A leaf can never, or should never, go beyond 'flat', if you can imagine that.

The PTFB stuff is great, hard to go wrong with that approach. I don't particularly like their' upper control arm, it doesn't appear to be rigid enough, and they don't make tubular lower control arms.

I don't like the SpeedTech ones either, they drop the car too low, and don't accept double adjustable shocks. They are more made for hybrid coilover conversions.

The Global West are the best, even if they are on the pricey side. My understanding is they have the best geometry. If you buy these, you never have to consider ever buying any other, and they last a life time. The powder coating on them is the best I've seen on any.

I have no experience with the QA1 arms, but they are so close to the cost of the GWs, it just makes sense to get the GWs at that point. BMRs, same thing.

I have had a number of issues with the CPP stuff, refuse to buy their' stuff anymore.
