Default Ordering suspension this week...NEED help.

Ok boys ordering suspension parts in the next couple of days. And i need an HONEST opinion.

Here's my options:

1. Baseline "Street Launch" kit w/ UPR single adjustable LCAs

2. Or the UPR Pro-street Adjustable control arm kit.

3. Others you may reccomend.

This car will mostly be a street car that i want to be able to slap DRs and go the track whenever i please. Thus the Street Launch kit (says it's for cars running low 11's). Im not looking for CRAZY street noise either.

I know ive asked this question 10000000 times. BUT i REALLY need your guy's help now. Cuz i am pretty much a noob when it comes to suspension. And it's happening now.

Thanks guys.

Reading Jazzer's Suspension guide thread...he says that the UPR LCAs aren't strong enough for the 1/4? Would i be better off to just get the LCAs from Baseline that are single adjustable??

You can get the Team Z LCAs in single or double adjustable and with or without sway bar mounts. The only thing that is expensive about team z is their relocated uppers. The rest of the stuff is actually pretty damn cheap for what you get. It is a lot higher quality than most of the other stuff on the market.

For a street car, I would look into the CHE lowers. They are a really good set of LCAs and will be perfect for a street car that will see some track time. I know guys with over 5,000 passes on these control arms as well as a good amount of street driving with no issues.

Jazz told me to go with UPR's or MM. In my case my stang is mainly a street car (dd) with a small amount maybe of stripe time. Im not too sure how much this help though.
