Sam 07

I have a 98 GT with 135k. My rear bushings for my control arms (mostly lower) are worn out. I am going to buy new control arms w/ bushings but what manufacture should i choose? BBK, Lakewood, granatelli, jegster?? What would you recommend? Most of them are the same price (plus or minus 30 dollars).

Thanks

Maximum Motorsports seem to be the strongest and best bet, but they are costly

maximum motorsports is expensive.

Any one installed BBK or lakewood?

Just remember you get what you pay for...
I'm still debating whether to fork over the extra cash on Maximum Motorsports or just go the cheap way...
Best bet is to probably go with the MM Lower control arms then get a set of cheap Uppers

Granatelli are fine. I went very slow and carefully and did uppers, lowers, and shocks in about 5 hours. Lowers can be done in 2 or less.

I got mine from blue oval? I don't have them on yet, but I am thinking code runs the same thing?

If there not adjustable, they are all basically the same (the really expensive ones are lighter though).

I am 99% sure Code said he runs Granatelli's, the $140(?) Ebay set of uppers/lowers. Thats what I plan on, as they should be all I will need.

The pics of the other cheaper brands just look all the same. I think its just one guy making them and then shipping them around.

I don't see any reason to spend more than about 150 bucks unless you wanna get really serious with adjustable stuff.

We have the UPR Upper & Lower rear control arms for $199 and you can also get the 8.8 upper bushing kit for $29. This is everything less shocks for the rear. These are great pieces for a street/strip set up and will install in a few hours with hand tools.

Let us know.
