Whats your opinions on these U/LCA
I hate this, this is what happens when your away from home for a month at a time, only work 10 days that month your away, and have high speed internet at the hotels. I sit around and buy stuff all day long. Anyway Im thinking of buying these control arms http://www.uprproducts.com/79-09-mus...ntrol-arms.asp along with with MM full length SFCs and welding up my torque boxes while im there, just for peace of mind. Any opinions on this type of set up? Im looking to cut quicker 60fts with Nitto 315s, Im not into the whole corner carving thing just straight line stuff. I think these UPRs look great i could careless about being chromemolly, but they offer lifetime warranty and energy suspension bushings. How hard are they to install? I installed my own lowering springs, shocks and struts, So im thinking I could handle this. So anyway yea what are the opinions good or bad? Id be thrilled with 1.7 60fts and happy with 1.8s I dont think thats asking for to much is it?

oh, you've got the UPRs? Im leaning towards them, because of warranty, as far as hard launches go, im looking for mainly street performance, i rarely go to the track and never plan on putting slicks on.

no i dont not have experience with that but i talked to the guys that sell them and they said they are made by the same people that make the summit control arms. There are plenty of people on this site that like the summits

Yea I know Dime runs summits with awesome results, 169 is a helluva price seems like you almost cant go wrong. Like I said though the lifetime warranty appeals to me as well, Ive never heard of c/a breaking though, just bushing wearing out.
