Control Arms
Yea, a typical question asked time and time again. I searched for older threads but want to ask it myself. I'm trying to do every little thing I can to get into the 12's. I know some control arms will help my launch and I'm deciding which to get. I'm seeing some packages (uppers and lowers) for about 180, like the Granatelli's. Are they good? Is there a downside to replacing uppers, as far as corner-carving is concerned? I don't want the car to be awesome at strip and a truck around the corners. Any advice?

RE: Control Arms
Dude im ur guy for this one haha. I have those exact control arms. They really tighten up ur launches and they keep your wheels planted on the corners. Tubular upper and lowers are a MUST for handling. They keep your car from flexing. End of story

Hmm I can get Red or Black. I wonder which color is faster.

RE: Control Arms
They dont help at the track but what track are you talking about. Theyre great for the circle track but not for the strip. By the way red is faster than black man. When ppl look under your car and see red stuff they think its built. I have red springs and red control arms and red brake rotors lol

Okay next question guys. How have your upgraded control arms affected your 60' times at the track?
