Are you going to have as much with the other arm as you did this one?

yeah, let me know when you get it all taken care of. I bought the set as well (rear uca's/lca's). I'd like to know how your car hooks now.

Thanks man, and again, congrats.

this is going to sound really stupid but on maximum motorsports website all they offer is a pair of front control arms with w/e bushing style u want. They don't say lower or upper? Does this mean that the upper and lowers r exactly the same size or what?

No they aren't the same size, MM doesnt believe you benefit from uppers, so they sell OEM style uppers. What part of Ohio are you from?

Cincinnati area, Lebanon to be exact, its a smaller town inbetween dayton and cincy. Well who else sells uppers that are actually worth buying? I was trying to more or less to buy quality crap and from what i understand MM was pretty high up there.

nvm answered my own question, I was under the impression that you could do both upper and lower A-Arms. I never really paid attention i just figured you could replace both upper and lower when converting to coilovers, my bad

I was in Cincy last night (working), but thats awesome, do you go to the drag strips up that way. Where do you go to have work done? I was thinking about going to Cincy Speed for my suspension this winter.

Im 19 and going to school for auto mechanics, too poor to afford someone else to work on my stuff. Plus I get the enjoyment of busting my knuckles and and tearing apart what was once a perfectly good car. My car is just a project right now, its all torn apart and probably won't be put back together for awhile unless i win the lottery. I've been once to Kil Kare and once to edge water to watch my buddy and his dad race their GT's but i've never raced myself
