Control Arms? Noticable difference?
 
I was wondering if you really notice better traction in your launch when you add upper and lower control arms. Anybody know how much of a difference they can make?

Thats what I'd probably get...

I wont be hitting the track until after summer so I want to either do power adding mods unless there are suspension mods that will give me a really noticeable difference.

Okay guys here are first hand real world experiences. I bought Granatelli Motorsports tubular upper/lower CA's. My best 60' prior to them was a 2.0x. My first run I turned a 1.89 60', the second run was a 1.84 60' and the final run was a 1.79 60'. Why??? Do you ask I made only 3 runs that night.??? Well, with my new found traction I grenaded my posi unit and ring/pinion. This was on DR's @ 22psi.

Just remember guys, when your tires are spinning, you won't break axles or rear ends. When traction comes so does the possibility of breaking parts.
