I can tell you not to buy granatelli, their products are crap, lol. I have no personal expereince, but enough information to make my own judgement. Some people put panhard bars and what not and can replace the UCAs I think that may be what your reffering to.

I have Lakewood Traction bars for my lowers and lov'em. I went with the Steeda Aluminum uppers becuz they are set up to work with lowered cars to fix pinion angle. You could just get adj. uppers. They make uppers with solid bushings...bad for the street!!!

k thanks guys, im pretty much done with the power mods for this cr short of a good dyno tune to polish everything off. but now i wast to make it handle well so its an all around fun car to drive. i would love to make it ride on rails but not sure how to allocate my money effectively. i find the susp. to be overwhelming.

i bought a panhard bar for 200 bucks.. cant wait to put it on but it will sure be helping out alot... for 700 you could do a panhard bar and full length subframes, that would help out a TON... or if you want to. do a k member kit.. that will make you alittle quicker and also make that front handle better.

lower control arms are better to get than the uppers... they help wheel up. the uppers control side to side and rotation movement... when you get a panhard bar and torque arm you dont need to have upper control arms and can remove them.
