Default rear control arms

ok, i want to upgrade my rear control arms because my rear end moves around alot. I was wondering what companies make good ones. Are the MAC or like generic summit ones too cheap? Ive heard about UPR but dont know anything about the company. Ive also hear lakewood are good. I dont want to spend a fortune, but would like a good set that will last as long as i have the car. Any suggestions and/or input is appreciated. thanks.

Ive got the UPR upper/lowers with urethane bushings and spherical housing bushings and they seem to work pretty good. The car doesnt spend the tires as soon as I mat it like it used to (went from stock stuff that was shot).

Ive got a set of Steeda adj. upper and alum. lower in the box
gonna install soon + Koni adj. shocks.= $620.00

if you dont wanna spend that much, try UPR people get good results
anything over stock will be better. you will get what you pay for

ok, anyone know where i can get uprs? i found their website, but usually you can get items cheaper from parts places than straight from the manufacturer.
