The next mod i have in mind is a good set of upper and lower control arms! Seems even with my 315 Dr's I can't seem to hook at all! I had better traction/better times with my smaller 275/40! I'm fed up with running Dr's at the track and will just buy me a set of et streets and some cheap 15's and toss them in my junk and see what times i get! I had a set of D&D uca's/lca but i never got around to installing them and eventually sold them because i was a short on cash! Anyways heres my current combo and wanted to see what controls arms do you guys recommend! Are the ajustable really necessary for my combo or not? I was told that i would not need ajustables unless i was pushing 500+ rwhp which I'm nowhere close to! ...
Current combo!
accufab t/b,c&l plenum, steeda u/d pulleys,densercharger (maff to fenderwell ) Hooker LT headers,header X-pipe,2.5" tail pipes with welded on dynomax bullets,pro5.0 shifter,D&D tubular K,D&D tubular a-arms,D&D coil overs,strange 10-wy ajustable struts,Upr-3bolt steel CC plates,edelbrock 125 shot dry shot!

FFW is coming to town next month and they the prices you find there for parts are a steal, so I'll be picking up a good set of Control arms but are unsure of which ones would yield best results!

Thanks for any suggestions..

Well, for lower control arms, i'd recommend heavy duty steeda or maximum motorsports.

As far as uppers go, your best bet is either replacing them with a torque arm/pan hard bar or better yet, the 5 link or 5 Link 2. If your budget is intent on sticking with the 4 link design, either mm or steeda uppers will do...

 

anybody use he granetteli control arms? there is a guy on corral selling them for like 150, reason I am asking because I know the old saying "you get what you pay for"

 

Granatelli makes quality products!Get your own thread!

 

I have a set of UPR's brand new in my shed. I was planning on putting them on my car........

(types as he slams head on desk in frustration realizing that car is still broken)

 

hey man, I am just trying to throw ideas/products out there so you have more to choose from. I like the UPR ones but was just looking for an answer for you and me.

 

lakewood lower and steeda heavy duty uppers would be what i would do i mean i have half of it.

 

MT is a Maximum motorsports supplier now. Get their standard lower control arms. Some of the best on the market. Im gettin some sometime...after bullitts, after....

 

I know, i'm just messing with ya man!

 

but on a serious note I think I am gona go with http://www.uprproducts.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=367

they sell the kit for 199, I hope they come with bushings and what everelse I need

 

Those are the onbe I have. Wait if you can...UPR does 10% off deals all the time for their customers. I bet you can get a 10% code.

 

do you like them? And are they good at the strip? And I do know about their 10% discount, I get an email from them once a month.

edit.... just realized they are NOT installed on your car

 

Yup....not on yet. They seem of high quality and the price was right.

 

I'll be using HPM Megabite Jr. Lowers with Steeda Adjustable uppers. Should be good for...well quicker then I'll ever 60ft. I believe people go have 1.5 and faster short times with that setup, and Lakewood 90/10 and 50/50's out back with appropriate springs.

I wouldn't recommend those struts/shocks if its your daily!
