Does that sound like a good deal. I am thinking of strengthening up a bit.

95opal · November 5th, 2006, 12:03 AM

Never heard of them, try http://www.steeda.com/ or http://www.dndmotorsports.com/ Quality pieces from both these places.

ChrisJ · November 5th, 2006, 02:15 AM

Check out Jegs or Summit...

But that is not that bad of a price...I would be tempted to go with them...But I went tubular ones myself...I lvoe them

Tony_90fox · November 5th, 2006, 02:38 AM

could you tell a big difference in the strength or what? I hear everybody talkin about them, but how good are they?

ChrisJ · November 5th, 2006, 02:48 AM

I noticed night and day difference...

No more twisting sideways when I got on it...

Rear-end felt planted alot better...

Launching with them is great...

Wheel hop drastically reduced...

No more quad shock...

The ride suffered alittle bit not much...

It was a very worth while mod...

I highly recommend them...

Tony_90fox · November 5th, 2006, 03:01 AM

just a question man, how much is the internet over there. My roommate was in Iraq last year and he said his internet was in the thousands of dollars a year.

What do you mean by gettin sideways? You mean when doing a burnout? What about going around a corner and punching it? Is that a bad idea with these control arms?

ChrisJ · November 5th, 2006, 03:06 AM

I dont have internet over here in my room...

I am at work...

The interent in the rooms here is free...But you are on the base network...

In Riaq it is like 60-70 a month...

When you get on it from a dig mine like to walk sideways...Now it stays straight and hooks...

Going around a corner and getting on it is fine...

The control arms just stiffen up the suspension...

Tony_90fox · November 5th, 2006, 03:24 AM

alright thanks man.

Justincredible · November 5th, 2006, 05:41 AM

ANY after market control arms, be it boxed or tubular, are light years better than the stock pieces.

Money well spent.

Don't forget to replace those junk ass factory rubber bushings in the axle housing too.

Those are identical to the BBK uppers and lowers. The BBK's are nice budget pieces for a street/strip car.

Yeah they are called "Grips" or something right?

I would be willing to bet those are made by steeda dn then sold under antoher name...Like mine are EXACTLY like Steeda's...But mine came from Jegs or Summitt...And it was alot cheaper then buying the Steeda brand...But literally you can dold them next to each other and they are the exact same...

Hell I have seen people box in their stockers...

That is a nice price though...

95opal · November 5th, 2006, 09:04 AM

They may look like steedas but I doubt the bushings are the same as steedas.

ChrisJ · November 5th, 2006, 09:39 AM

Summit

Steeda

I had them side by side and there is not alot difference at all other then the color...The Steeda's have more room for a sway bar to be mounted but all in all I decided to go with Summits...The Summit's have grease alamites and everything just like the Steedas...Companies are natorious for making parts and selling them under another name...

Steeda's = $480

Summit = $220

95opal · November 5th, 2006, 10:05 AM

Chris I hear ya about companies selling products under diff names. My / to you is are the bushings in the summitt arms one piece poly or are they like the steedas 4 pc bushings. Poly = suspension bind and possible torqe box destruction.
Dont get me wrong im sure the summitt arms will give you a noticable diff over stock but I prefer superior Quality when buying aftermarket, and I dont think you can get any better than Steeda or D&D they know suspension.

I have quite a bit of steeda parts on my car...

I cant remember exactly what the bushings were like...

I just know I have a friend that has the summits and they are holding really nice with his 600+rwhp beast...

I prefer quality as well...But I have dealt with summits LCA's and UCA's before and they are pretty nice quality...

1slo5.0 · November 5th, 2006, 03:27 PM

Summit and Jeg's both sell store brand products. There products are the exact same pieces the manufacturer sells. For example, Griffin used to make their radiators. The Summit radiator and the Griffin piece were the same exact item. Same thing with fuel pumps, regulators, etc. I'll guarantee Steeda doesn't make their own control arms. Its probably a 3rd party company that could possibly make the Summit brand control arms too. The Summit tubular arms are/were made by Granetelli.

Tony_90fox · November 5th, 2006, 04:32 PM

Since i dont know much about these, I wont get into this, but all i have to say is....anything is gonna be better than what i have currently. thanks for the advice guys.

jphin617 · February 27th, 2007, 01:57 PM

I have a 82 5.0 that i just bought and when i was driving it the back feels like its swaying back and forth someone told me i could have bad control arms or bad control arm bushing ....i myself thought it was a bent frame
