I am doing my first AR build and I was wondering if any of you guys know anything about the Spikes Tactical Enhanced Lower Parts Kit and if the trigger is any good. I am relatively knew to this whole build thing. Thanks.

I think you'd be better off with with a Colt LPK from gandr (without FCG) and an ALG ACT trigger.

Agree with drama. +1 for ALG ACT Colt LPK.
Not only is the trigger group coated with Nickel Teflon and Nickel Boron, they are tuned by Geiselle. Very good trigger for $60~
This is exactly what I did with my two most recently purchased lowers (Spikes Lowers). Bought the Colt LPK, from Grant, sans trigger group and purchased two ALG triggers to give them a try.
Everything went together very smoothly and in dry firing the ALG trigger group is impressive for the $$. In dry firing, it is probably 80% as good as the SSA trigger group and loads better than your average GI LPK trigger.
The only negative about the Colt LPK, I think it needs a pistol grip upgrade, as I've been spoiled by HK V1 battle grips that have additional palm swell and texture. I will be replacing the Colt grip with HK grips eventually.
Hey all, I've dabbled in doing AR trigger jobs and have stoned/polished a couple of lpk's of my own. Have wanted to try the ALG but havent found a good place to buy the lpk minus fcg. What is the website for this Grants place?
I know this forum doesn't like Spikes and can be a bit harsh on the brand, but that is still too much for a LPK. Some of that stuff, like the KNS pins and billet trigger guard, aren't even necessary. Also a mil-spec trigger coated in NiB is still a mil-spec trigger.
Look at PSA's website and pick a lpk that comes with the grip you want. The last two lpk's I bought from PSA had the same markings as the Colt parts, included a FCG and came with a good grip for the same money. Then if you don't like the trigger (both of mine were good for a mil-spec trigger) you can replace it with something noticeably better and throw the old one in the spare parts bin.

$60 did seem a little steep for a lpk minus fcg. I actually like the machining on the Spikes lpk I have. After stone and polish (they cleaned up way easier than dpms or PSA) I threw some JP springs on my lower and the pull is a very nice, short, almost zero creep 5.5lb pull.
