Default another question about control arms

I am looking to upgrade some more and I am thinking about lower control arms. I drive this car 2-3 times a week and plan to run it at the track in the future being next summer just to see how to have some fun from time to time. Is this a good investment for what I want to do?

Control arms are a great investment. I'd go with Maximum Motorsports adjustables.

They will definately plant the rear of your car. I hate how mine hops around everywhere.

My vote is for MM, I think they probably have the best suspension stuff going. Depending how much you are looking to spend you should look at one of there rear suspension packages. Oh and when you do LCAs you can rip out your quad shocks.

The ride will get a bit bumpier but last time I checked we drive a Mustang not a Lexus! lol! That's what I always tell people who complain about ride quality after lowering or something like that!

Seriusly they are all the same just look they are boxed have polly bushings and and maybe weight less, just get the cheapest ones you can find. same goes for the uppers. of course this is my opinon but just go look at them all they are all the same basicly.
