Do aluminum control arms such as these have any downsides such as less strength? Or is aluminum just god's gift to racers.

they look nice as hell, if theyre any good im gonna get them i already have southsides for lowers.

chromoly(yes not chrome moly) is 2-4 times stronger than aluminum.

Yes but to what extent. For these purposes, a car i mean(relatively low amounts of force), is the extra strength even used. The less weight is obviously beneficial.

ya jasper ima get those next.. i hear steeda makes some nice suspension parts.. so ill find out how they work soons the cars done

then why hasnt some one mass produced a titanium set? titanium is twice the strenght(USA grade) than aluminum and half the weight? sure Ti is more expensive, but if weight were all that beneficial it wouldnt matter.

Go with the UPR Chrome-Moly's...you can get uppers and lowers for $199

Chrome-Moly is not to heavy either...you may save 2-4 lbs with the aluminum ones....you can do even better if you cut Carbs out of your diet for a week
