Default need rear control arm suggestions

i really need new rear control arms, and im looking for input on which ones to buy. i DO NOT want adjustable ones.

a buddy had summit ones on his and after like 6 months and a few drag passes and the bushing holes bent and were egg shaped. i want something thats going to last. i dont want to cheap out on these, but i dont need the most expensive out there. as long as they last thats my biggest concern.

would also kinda prefer upper and lower packages

I run the summits, they did me good for 1.61s... But after 2 trs of dding w dragradials and running it regularly... It took its toll on them...

I would never run these on ANYTHING but a 100% drag car and not on a DD ride. These are hard on torque boxes and will bind something fierce on the corners.

I recommend MM XD's like Strider runs to not only hold up under lots of hard launches with stickeys, but lighten the twisting load on your torque boxes. They will also create FAR less bind on the twisties for a DD ride.

That is all....
