Here is a compiled list of lowest prices (including tax and shipping) of lower control arms I'm looking at, just need a few recommendations

My car is mostly a street car, I take it to the drag strip once in a while and am starting to get into cornering. I'd like to be able to launch decently on drag radials, but more importantly, I'd like to stiffen up the rear end a little to help cornering. I'm wondering if some of the lower priced LCA options would hold up as well as the MM product for what my goals are. Thanks!

You don't need adjustable length lowers. The height adjustment ones are also kind of taboo in my book. You want to set the ride height once, set the pinion angle and be done with it, so I wouldn't go with those.

IMHO, get something with sphericals or heim joints at both ends, not just one. They're a lot easier on torque boxes on hard launches. You don't want anything with a solid bushings. J&M's poly ball setup looks really good as well, kind of a good mix of both worlds. You can get the ones without the adjustable perches for $207.

I was thinking the exact same thing on the height adjustable LCAs. I feel like it'd be annoying to have to set the pinion angle multiple times.

Though I was told to avoid LCAs with poly bushings on both ends as they don't articulate much and thus wouldn't decrease suspension bind as much as a poly/spherical LCA. I would go with a spherical bearing on both ends but peeps have said that it transmits a lot of noise into the car, so that's the reason every link up there is to some form of poly/spherical LCA.
