What do I need...
 
Im ready to upgrade my suspension and make the car hook better, so what exactly do I need. I think that is what control arms are for but I really have no idea. Also what brand do you reccomend for these parts. Thanks

im running eibach pro-kit, tokico 5- way shocks and struts, steeda 4 bolt C/C plates, steeda aluminum upper and lower control arms(w/ poly bushings) car does not wheel hop with 315/35/17 tires, but i dont have the DR on yet.

call maximum motorsports and they'll custom design what you need to get it to hook. Usually LCA's, subframes, bushings, drag shocks&struts, and rear drag springs are the ticket. For maximum grip, torque arm (requires many other mods). If you want to go budget, then adjustable UCA's and weight jacker LCA's plus a shock/strut package will have you turning in better times once you learn how to tune it.

MM is the ONLY company I'd buy suspension from... oddly enough, they're the only company I DO by suspension from. There's a lot of good reasons for that.

Call them.. they'll at least give you the for sure on what you need.

Well if you just want to make the suspension better but not a full out drag strip car i would atleast do upper an dlower control arms. These will get rid of any wheel hop and make the car not spin the tires as much.

If you want a hardcore setup, you should go with drag springs and shocks. I mean there are a ton of ways just how hardcore do you want it?
