You get what you pay for. I would go adjustable uppers and non-adjustable lowers with sub frame connectors. That will help you hook big time.

[jrfan4life]

What about Lakewood..... Do they have good product?

[Doc8224]

Yea so does steeda, UPR , Maximum Motorsports. Just to name a couple.

[jrfan4life]

Is there a setup you would recomend?

[Doc8224]

I am looking at the UPR adjustable uppers and non adjustable lowers.

I bought that package and it helped a lot.

you get what you pay for in suspension, i know it might help your times but what happens when the welds fail on the them and you crash into a wall. I would get the UPR adjustable uppers and lowers. With adjusting them you can set your pinion angle to -2 or -3 for the best traction. I would take it to a shop to do that though unless you have the angle dial. If kenny brown is still around i would recommend his for subframe connectors, very high quality for a low price. Thats what i have on my car. For a quick front end help pick up either some lakewood 90/10 struts or 70/30 struts.

So you're saying it's better to have stock control arms than mine because of the welds?

[White99stang]

i am not saying that, but for something to be that cheap, that means cheap metal was used and craftsmanship probrably isn't that good. Powdercoating something red and matching colors doesn't mean its a good product. When changing stuff like that i don't short on quality and expense. If one of those break if your at a higher rate of speed then say hello to the wall. If 7 second cars can run upr suspension and it held up to my crazy launches thats all i will ever recommend to anyone.

Actualy I would say yes. Stock ones are stamped out so its got less chance of actualy breaking then it does just twisting or bending. The cheap ebay ones are welded and if there is a bad weld on it they can break right off.

Another to help with traction and rigidity is having your torque boxes strengthened up. You can buy a set of full torque box plates or if you know a realy good welder have them fully welded.
