Default Which control arms?

I'm looking for some good rear control arms that will help me launch better. My car is pretty much a daily driver and goes to the track occasionally. I was looking at the lakewood and the bbk's. Any suggestions?

if you want some good control arms and cost is not an issue, then i would go with maximum motorsports. here is a link for their standard non adjustable control arms...these are just the lowers.

and if cost is an issue....and you want to get some good control arms at a more affordable proce, then i would go with these. code (one of the site mod's used to have them on his 99-04 GT that killed at the track.

edit: personally i am going to be going with/ordering the granatelli's myself, here in a month or so.

I've had Granatelli uppers and lowers for two years and they are fine. Think I paid $139 or so.

did you notice any improvement in traction/launching and handling? what about road noise....have you noticed/heard more road noise since the install? and last but not least....would you say they are worth upgrading from the stockers?

just curious, since i am considering ordering these myself.
