Default rear control arms..

any of u guys running aftermarket u/l control arms? i read on mm site the the fr uppers will be fine, so ill prolly run those. as for lower i havent decided if i should go adjustable or none adjustable. its a street/track car. whats the benifits of being able to adjust them? either way i think im sticking with mm stuff.

Hey look, new slicks!
Maximum Motorsports’ Adjustable Rear Lower Control Arms let you change your ride height to suit your needs. Taller slicks can be a way to lower ETs. Now you can fit them under your car. The easy adjustment of MM’s adjustable control arms lets you raise rear ride height up to 2 inches, or lower it as much as 1 inch. A heavy duty weight jack bolt makes this possible. The spring perch design allows easy height changes without jacking up your car

i guess it really depends on how much u go to the track. o well n/m.

rear lower control arms are great for traction and if you have wheel hop it will greatly reduce it. adjustable lower control arms, like it says, can raise or lower your ride. adustable upper control arms can change the pinion angle of the rear end thus in a way pushing the tires into the ground when you really get on it.

You may want to consider this other adjustable option, for the price of non-adjustable ones. Guess which brand......hint, see sig. GL

Yup....but they're not available through their distributors yet...and you won't believe the price difference when compared to the other billet aluminum option....

Mike;

As I said previously, need to call Granatelli Motorsports and ask for Mr. J.R. Granatelli himself, let them know that you want to order the new billet LCA's and they'll get him for you....believe it, or not. GL
