Default What brand control arms???

Ok, i was gonna get Megabyte control arms for both uppers and lowers. But since then, i have found out about Baseline Suspension and Team Z suspension. And i have come to the conclusion that the Baseline and Team Z stuff is better than the Megabyte stuff. I've been doing a lot of reading on Baseline's website and they seem to know wtf they are doing. Havent read much on Team Z stuff but their stuff comes highly recommended as well. Im gonna do some reading on them tonight. But out of Baseline and Team Z, which one would you guys go with. Baseline also gives you the readout of the info of your suspension geometry with your purchase as well. So im just trying to get the best stuff out there.

Well on baseline's website, you can get their prolaunch 2 kit, adjustable lower control arms, and an antiroll bar for $665. And with that comes your suspension geometry plotted out on a computer diagram. So thats what i was planning on going with.

Its down a little bit from the top on the right side of the page under a picture of a Mach. Check that kit out and let me know what you think.

If you're DDing this car, I wouldn't recomend an anti-roll bar. It will have to be disconnected for any street use, and only used at the track. You'll damage other parts keeping it on for regular driving, so no point in having on for a DD.

It'll rip your torque boxes to shreds, which in turn will make the upper control arms come off. If by some miracle the can can still move, the pinion angle will be all over the place.

An anti-roll bar CAN NOT be connected for street driving. It's not like no cats, where you shouldn't but still can, you absolutely can't do it. Track use only.
