Default rear control arms
ok, my stock uppers are bangin when i takeoff in first, so i think this week i'll be ordering some uppers.

what brand do you guys have? do you like it?
i dont need anything crazy, i'm not looking for a track suspension.
at this time i'm only doing uppers, so i need something that will keep the same pinion angle.

any tips?

Matt, make sure you don't need the bushings in the rear end also. I just bought these.

Maximum Motorsports says the stock uppers are the best, why is this?
