I like the CHE lowers with poly/derlin bushings. If you were more track than street, then I'd say go for team z.

I used to recommend the baseline uppers to people until a set broke on my buddy's mid-low 13 second automatic car........

Well I'm going to go out on a limb and say I'm sure people have had problems with Team Z also. I don't think there is a company out there that hasn't had problems with their products. I mean there are a lot of cars out there that are a lot faster than your buddies car running Baseline stuff with no problems (i.e. 7-10 second cars).

Also, maybe it's possible your buddy installed them incorrectly?

If your still having wheel hop issues a stickier tire may only add to the problem further.

A mild bolt-on automatic running 13.2-13.4 shouldn't crack any set of control arms in multiple places........

Just run the 50/50s bro, they will work for you. What kinda springs do you have in the car right now?
