Default C arms question

All that i need to know is if i should get upper and lower control arms or if i should just get lowers? If lowers C arms will do the trick i will by MM, but i dont have enough money for uppers then, would that be ok or should i go with Granatelli or MAC upper and lower?

I just bought Mac uppers and lowers and only installed the lowers. I took the uppers off and tried to install them but the bushings were binding so much I couldn't even get the bolts to line up. Afterward I read that you should not use urethane bushings for the uppers for the reason of binding. I would not get the Mac's if I new then what I know now or any others with urethane bushings that are similar. I also had to drill out the bolt holes and use the old bolts on the lowers because Mac supplied a smaller bolt that I thought was sloppy. I would go with MM for sure.

No I just installed the lowers, it would be okay. It's realy not that big of a deal to just install the uppers later if you decide to. Go to Maximum Motorsports site and read some of the great info they have there (I wish I woud have read more).
