I, as well as many others on this forum, are very pleased with my Granatelli U/L CA's from ebay. They are about $160 shipped.

You can get expensive ones or cheap ones... they are close to being the same thing, unless you get adjustables, then you have to get your pinion angle, and suspension geometry set up.....

CA's and DR's were going to be my next mod as well.. combined those would run you around 500.. mabey a little more.. just depends on where you buy the tires at.

Those granatelli arms off ebay are a really great deal. I think the highest quality (and price unfortunetly) have to go to the Maximum motorsports adjustables though. They are a truly great control arm!

I know Steeda is pretty well known for their suspension products, I don't, however, know about their CA's, does anyone have any experience with these? Any good, cuz I was planning on getting some CA's, but couldn't decide between Maximum Motorsports and Steeda.

steeda's LCA's run about $250 for the sport aluminums. Someone on here told me to stay away from aftermarket upper control arms and showed some posts on another forum why not to get them. I don't think I would want the adjustables because I don't have the necessary tools or the means to adjust them whenever I want to race or drive it on the street. Anyways, can those ebay LCA's be trusted?
