Default control arms

would control arms be worth it on my car just for better handling and maybe a lil better launch....i was lookin at the blue oval ones...either their brand or the KSR ones.....what do you guys think?

They will help, but with your current numbers a set of nitto's will make the best bang for your buck on a launch. The KDW's are better for traction but wear alot faster.

I was about to say that. Stock suspension is actually pretty good to about high 12's and DR's will benefit your setup the most now. If you plan on 300+rwhp, then some LCA's would be worth it.

i love my control arms. i get way better traction now and it is alot more fun to drive, but you probably would benefit more from a set of DR's, i just dont have DR's yet because they dont last very long and are relatively expensive. if i were to get DR's i would go for mickeys on a spare set of rims and just put them on when you want to have some fun.
