The uppers and lowers I am taking off are not labeled from what I can see. They look like BBK control arms from what I can tell and from all the different control arms I have seen. They were on the car when I bought it. I think whoever installed them peeled off the decals.

No, the new stuff. You never said what brand they are.

Gotcha gotcha. Team Z and baseline suspensions are the best out there for 1/4 use I think.

Yeah, for a stock style suspension, nothing really beats the two. I have spoken to a couple people that have run both baseline and team z stuff and they say the team z is built a little tougher. But relocated uppers is one of the best things you can do for the stock 4-link

I would not say that as Baseline has stuff for 10's and then stuff that will handle launches of 7 second cars...but both are very good pieces. And i would not consider those stock style suspension with the relocation that fixes everything that is our stock style suspension.

nice choice in going with team z, I'd still chuck the 4 link setup all together but for the price and for what it does it's a nice start.

I was thinking about running a torque arm and a watts link, but that's tons more money and more weight.

Yup. You will love what you got. If you aren't cutting 1.5-6s consistantly you should just sell your car

I never said baseline was bad stuff, nothing close to that. I just said people who I've talked to that have run both prefer the team z kit because it seems to be built a bit tougher. Lots of people prefer MM products over other brands for the same reason.

If the only thing different about my suspension is relocated uppers, then I think it's safe to say it's still "stock style" by a reasonable persons standards
