Which control arms for hop?
So i have a 90 GT hatch superchaged that is lowered 2" with sportline springs and a 3:73 rear end. Iva always had really bad wheel hop since i purchased the car and i believe its due to the stock control arms and being lowered. ive asked if i should do quad shocks but everyone has told me to do upper and lower control arms. So my question is do i need adjustable upper and lowers to get my can to stop wheel hopping or will any after market control arms help me out?I have about 200 bucks saved up so the expensive stuff is out of the question. My motor is being rebuilt as we speak so where could i find some inexpensive control arms that will help me out? thanks - Jay

So do you think i could get away with these? I dont want to pay out the *** for a set of upr's or something... these bushings and arms will be good right? i can just bolt them in or what else do i have to do?

very true about skimping out on suspension. I was trying to save a penny when in the future it will be worth it to get a better product. So those upr control arms will be fine for my setup? im going to order them as soon as i get an OKAY from you... thanks - Jay
oh and for the axle bushings, how much are they, where would i get them, and how do i install them?

you can save some $$ by welding a thin (3/16") plate across the open bottom side of the upper control arms. "Box" them in.
Upper control arm bushings are apain, so spend an extra couple $$ and buy GOOD bushings.
