Gksweney: The RC 2.5 BB that is the subject of this thread does not come with control arms. That's the lift I installed. However, the steering does become a little bit "flighty"--on-center feel is pretty weak after the lift. Installing a set of front, lower adjustable control arms can allow you to adjust the caster, and to return that steering feel. This loss of steering feel is going to be noticeable on the street, especially at highway speeds with heavy winds. Summary: If you want that more stock-like feel in the steering you'll need some more hardware. But, you can install that when money permits.

Thanks, but the response I gave was to someone who posted within this topic that has the RC 4 inch lift.

Ah, the hazards of going off topic. I misunderstood "you" on your post, and did not go back a page to see what the person you were actually replying to may have had. It happens to all of us.
