Default Control Arms

After i went to the track yesturday im pretty sure im gonna get some control arms. Are the upper or lower control arms more important? Would it make sense to pay more for upper than lower or the other way around? What about adjustable...are they worth the extra money? Best Brands?

ultimately lowers are the most important. But just get these as a kit and that way you don't gotta worry.

I have UPR brand and like them alot. I have upper and lower. If I only chose one, it would be the lower because of the way the rear end wants to torque. The lower would hold better alone than the upper alone. I don't know which costs more. The lowers are bigger.

Yeah, mine are adjustable too, and I think that is important in getting the rear end angle right and keeping it there.

I also got the sperical (sp?)bushings for the uppers but was too lazy to put them in. They are still in the package if anyone wants to buy them.
