Just get the UPR tubular upper and lower street control arms if you're not sure and you'll be doing alot of daily driving. Don't mess with adjustable or solids unless you are gonna get real serious and don't mind sacrificing your ride or spending time adjusting your pinion angle for launching, driving, etc. characteristics.

there all good brands. i have steeda LCA's... new springs/shocks/struts would be a good idea as well. but you can always go with the best a get coil overs all around!

I'd do UPR products any day. You can get a set of upper and lower CA's for 200 bucks from them. Can't beat that no matter how you look at it.

Well you never mentioned anything about springs or shocks. If you're gonna do that too go buy a tubular K member with a-arms and coilovers for the front and rear. And if you go that route, ditch the non-adjustable CA's for some solid/adjustable ones. With the right settings you can make your car a real carver and straight-liner.
